Best for
  • Engineers wanting serverless GPU compute
  • ML teams doing training and inference
  • Data pipeline and batch job builders
  • Platform teams running LLM infrastructure
  • Regulated or air-gapped environments
  • Organisations tracking model spend centrally
Pros
  • Infrastructure defined as Python code
  • Per-second billing with scale-to-zero
  • Fast container cold starts
  • Access to high-end GPUs
  • Autoscaling without cluster management
  • MIT-licensed core with the important controls included
  • Self-hosted, works air-gapped, never phones home
  • 31 providers behind OpenAI and Anthropic compatible APIs
  • Virtual keys with budgets and rate limits
  • Caching, failover, and load balancing built in
Cons
  • Learning curve for its programming model
  • Python-only
  • Usage-based GPU costs can grow at scale
  • Less turnkey than a hosted model API
  • Requires engineering comfort with code
  • Pro tier is expensive at 499 dollars per month
  • You carry the operational burden of running it
  • Intelligent routing is still in beta
  • No hosted option for teams that want one
  • Smaller ecosystem than established hosted gateways
