| Kai's verdict | DeepInfra 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. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. |
