Serverless inference.

A curated library of leading open-weight models, hosted on GPUs we own. OpenAI-compatible, in-region compute, zero data retention, with no infrastructure to manage. Up to 75% less than proprietary alternatives.

Frontier models hosted on in-region GPUs

Hosted models are chosen deliberately. Each one is the best at something real: high-throughput reasoning, cost-efficient intelligence at scale, and real-time interactive workloads. For the current lineup, see telnyx.com/pricing/inference-api.

WHY TELNYX

The shift to open-weight

Open-weight models have caught up with models from frontier labs. Same quality, fraction of the cost. Telnyx hosts models on GPU infrastructure we own, so there's no cloud provider markup in your per-token price. Switch workloads from the frontier and save up to 75%, no compromise on quality, no vendor lock-in.

  • Ultra low latency

    Ultra-low latency

    Run state-of-the-art models on GPUs colocated with the network that serves your users. Inference happens in-region across the Americas, Europe, MENA, and APAC, so data stays where your users are with zero data retention. No inter-provider hops, no cross-border routing, no training on your data.

  • No vendor lockin

    Cut costs, gain flexibility

    Save up to 75% vs proprietary models with OpenAI compatible endpoints that work with existing SDKs, so you can switch models easily without rewriting code.

  • Autoscaling by default

    Autoscaling by default

    Go from 0 to 1000s of requests per second without planning around available capacity. Pay only for what you use.

SERVICE TIERS

Route each request based on latency requirements

A single parameter on each request controls serving capacity and price. Set service_tier to flex, default, or priority on any chat completion call. Omit the field and you get Default. Same model IDs, same synchronous API, no new endpoints to integrate.

  • Default

    Standard serving capacity at standard rates. This is what every existing inference call already uses. All published pricing comparisons and benchmark results refer to Default tier. Omit service_tier and this is what you get.

  • Priority

    Serving capacity optimized for low-latency interactive workloads, including voice orchestration. Priority does not change the model or the context window. It selects faster serving capacity at a different rate. Live on select models today, more models and regions coming soon.

  • Flex

    Lowest rates, optimized for throughput where minutes of end-to-end latency is acceptable. Flex is for background work: offline evaluation, document processing, background summarization. All requests remain synchronous. Available in US on select models.

FEATURES

Production-ready inference APIs

OpenAI-compatible endpoints that work with your existing SDK and deploy globally.

  • In-region deployment

    Inference runs in the Americas, Europe, MENA and APAC with LATAM coming soon. Your data stays where your users are, and stays private.

  • OpenAI-compatible API

    Save up to 75% on your inference bills using your existing OpenAI SDK by changing the base URL to access open-source models.

  • Priority tiers

    Tiers run on Telnyx-hosted models, so you change one field in the request body rather than adding a second inference provider.

  • Autoscaling

    Owned GPU infrastructure handles concurrent requests and scales automatically with your workload. No capacity planning, no cold starts.

  • Vendor flexibility

    Access leading open-weight models from z.ai, DeepSeek, Minimax and more as they launch.

  • Structured output

    JSON mode and regex constraints ensure inference output conforms to your schema for production-grade reliability.

HOW IT WORKS

Migrate in minutes

OpenAI-compatible. Change your base URL, that's it.

curl -i -X POST "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/ai/chat/completions" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "model": "moonshotai/Kimi-K3",
       "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, World!"}]
     }'
PRICING

Structural pricing, not stacked margins

Up to 75% less than proprietary alternatives. Cached input at up to 88% off. No GPU rental fees, no compute surcharges, no minimums. Per-token rates vary by model and service tier.

FAQ

Inference APIs let you send prompts to a deployed model and get predictions back over HTTP, without managing GPU hardware yourself. They wrap model serving behind a standard chat completions interface so any application can generate text, embeddings, or function calls on demand.
