Key Features
  • Agent memory
  • Knowledge base
  • Tool use
  • Structured output
  • Multi-model
  • LPU hardware — custom chips for inference, not repurposed GPUs
  • GPT OSS 120B at 500 tok/s ($0.15/M input)
  • GPT OSS 20B at 1000 tok/s ($0.075/M input)
  • Llama 4 Scout 17B at 750 tok/s with 131K context + vision
  • Qwen3-32B at 400 tok/s with 131K context
  • Compound AI systems with web search + code execution
  • Whisper transcription ($0.04-0.11/hour)
