Who it's for
Best for
Developers building multi-file features across large codebases
Enterprise engineering teams needing encrypted inference
Not for
- Developers needing dependable billing and responsive technical support
Careful buyers needing predictable subscription cancellation
Features
End-to-end encrypted inference
Prompts are encrypted before leaving the machine and decrypted only where the model runs. Nothing readable crosses the wire.
Zero data retention
Zero data retention means inference data is not kept after the answer. The platform describes encrypted handling across every connection.
300+ model catalog
The platform pricing page describes the same 300+ model catalog across enterprise inference, the router, API, CLI, and Agents API.
Token-based metering
Inference is metered per token rather than per seat. The pricing page states that no platform fees, markups, or per-seat charges apply.
Dedicated enterprise deployment
Enterprise plans include dedicated deployments, data residency, custom SLAs, managed keys, and implementation included at no charge.

Pros
- Rough designs produce accurate page structure, including grids, navigation, and footers.
- The autonomous agent plans, codes, tests, and debugs multi-file features.
- Workspace indexing handles large codebases and cross-file context well.
Cons
- Interactive hover, focus, and animation states often need manual refinement.
- Messy documents can produce confidently wrong retrieval results without error warnings.
- Long coding chats become laggy and require repeated context resets.
- Paid access can fail while credits remain active or charges continue after cancellation.
