TaglineBlazing-fast, pay-as-you-go inference API for open-source LLMs and multimodal models, now plugged directly into the Hugging Face ecosystem.Cognition Labs' autonomous coding engineer.VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work.Meeting notes, free forever for individuals.

PricingFree $5 credit on signup, then pay-as-you-go from $0.06/M tokens$500/moFree + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo BusinessFree for individuals + $15-$29/user/mo teams
Best forBackend developers and ML engineers who want the cheapest reliable inference for open-weight LLMs in production, especially those already living inside the Hugging Face ecosystem.Engineering teams offloading tickets. Ops/platform work.Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.Solo operators, freelancers, small teams on a budget.
Strengths
  • Among the cheapest per-token rates for open-source models — consistently undercuts Together AI and Fireworks on small models
  • OpenAI-compatible API means zero migration headache from existing stacks
  • Now a first-class Hugging Face Inference Provider, so HF-native workflows (SDKs, Playground, agent harnesses) get DeepInfra with a one-line swap
  • Runs on H100/A100 and NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with auto-scaling and 99.982% uptime SLA on dedicated tier
  • Supports LoRA adapter deployments and private custom model hosting, not just public models
  • Works like an engineer — takes Slack tasks, opens PRs
  • Handles multi-hour engineering work
  • Reports back with what it did
  • Tab completion feels like mind-reading
  • Composer for multi-file edits
  • Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick
  • Unlimited free tier for solo use
  • Strong summaries + action items
  • Works in Zoom, Meet, Teams
Weaknesses
  • Primarily developer/API-first — no meaningful consumer-facing product or chat UI to speak of
  • Model breadth (77 tracked) lags behind aggregators like OpenRouter or Replicate for niche or newly-released models
  • No free tier beyond the $5 signup credit; requires a card or prepayment to continue
  • Expensive
  • Best for well-scoped tasks
  • Not for solo hobbyists
  • Can feel overwhelming for non-coders
  • Expensive at scale
  • Bot-joining model
  • Team features gated
Kai's verdictDeepInfra is the quiet workhorse of the inference API space — serious price performance on H100s, a genuinely clean OpenAI-compatible API, and now a native HF provider makes it a strong default choice for any team running open-source models at scale. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
