deAPI

What is deAPI and how does it work?

deAPI is a unified API that gives you instant access to open-source AI models for text-to-image, text-to-speech, video transcription, and more. Instead of setting up GPUs yourself, requests are routed through a decentralized GPU cloud, making AI inference fast, scalable, and cost-efficient.

Which AI models are available through deAPI?

deAPI supports popular open-source models including LTX Video, Qwen Edit, FLUX.1 Schnell, Z-Image Turbo, Kokoro, Whisper, BGE M3, and Nanonets OCR for various AI tasks. You can switch between models through a single endpoint. The model documentation is always updated with all supported models.

Who can use deAPI?

deAPI is built for developers, startups, SaaS companies, and AI builders who want to integrate powerful AI features without managing infrastructure. Whether you're building an app, marketplace, or internal tool, you can use deAPI instantly with one API key.

How do I get started with deAPI?

Sign up at deAPI.ai, claim your free credits, and check the API docs for quickstart examples. Try our Playground for instant testing without code. You can make your first AI call within minutes using curl, Python, or JavaScript.

Why deAPI instead of OpenAI?

deAPI complements OpenAI perfectly—you can continue using GPT models for chat and text generation while leveraging deAPI for cost-effective AI: image generation, video creation, text-to-speech, transcription, and more. For example, our Whisper Large v3 transcription uses the same model as OpenAI but at a fraction of the cost. Plus, deAPI accepts direct YouTube links for transcription, eliminating the need to download, store, and upload large video files—saving you on storage costs and transfer fees.

Do I need a GPU or special hardware?

No GPU or special hardware required. deAPI runs entirely on our decentralized GPU infrastructure, so you can access powerful AI models with just an API key. Scale your applications instantly without capital investment in expensive hardware, and pay only for what you use—no maintenance, no setup, no infrastructure costs.

Can I use deAPI for commercial projects?

Absolutely. All models available through deAPI are open-source with commercial-friendly licenses, meaning you can integrate them into any commercial project without restrictions or additional licensing fees. deAPI already powers startups, SaaS platforms, and marketplace applications worldwide. Build, launch, and scale your commercial AI features with confidence.

How much does deAPI cost?

Pricing is simple and usage-based. For example: Text-to-Image starts at $0.00119 per image (512×512), Text-to-Speech at $0.77 per 1M characters, Video-to-Text at $0.021 per hour. Because requests run on real distributed GPUs worldwide, inference can be significantly cheaper than providers like OpenAI or Stability AI. New users get $5 in free credits to test the API instantly.
