Global inference. Local data.

OpenAI-compatible inference with in-region deployment. Data stays where your users are, with no hyperscaler markup.

Why Telnyx for Inference

Inference in-region, not routed cross-country

Most inference providers run in one or two US data centers. Your European users hit us-east-1. Your APAC traffic crosses the Pacific. Latency stacks up. Data leaves the region. Compliance gets complicated.


Telnyx runs inference in-region in the Americas, Europe, and APAC ensuring requests stay local, and data never crosses borders unnecessarily. Because we own the GPU infrastructure, there's no cloud provider margin in the pricing.


When you're ready to expand beyond inference, voice AI, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, it's all on the same infrastructure. No new vendor, no integration overhead.

FEATURES

Production-ready inference APIs

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

  • Icon Features Checkmark

    In-region deployment

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

  • Icon Features Checkmark

    OpenAI-compatible API

    Use your existing OpenAI SDK by changing the base URL.

  • Icon Features Checkmark

    Function calling

    Connect LLMs to external tools and APIs to build agents that take action, not just generate text.

  • Icon Features Checkmark

    Autoscaling

    Dedicated GPUs handle concurrent requests and scale automatically with your workload, so there is no capacity planning or cold starts to worry about.

  • Icon Features Checkmark

    Fine-tuning

    Customize models with your own data via the Fine-Tuning API using the same infrastructure and API key.

  • Icon Features Checkmark

    Structured output

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

WHY TELNYX

The edge advantage

Run inference where your users are, not where your cloud provider decides. Lower latency, better experiences, no vendor lock-in.

  • Ultra-low latency

    Run models at the edge close to your users. Sub-100ms response times without cross-country routing.

  • No vendor lock-in

    OpenAI-compatible endpoints work with your existing SDK. Switch providers without rewriting code.

  • Autoscaling by default

    From zero to thousands of requests per second without capacity planning. Pay only for what you use.

PRICING

Transparent pricing, no cloud tax

Starting at $0.10 per 1M tokens with flat per-token pricing by model tier. No GPU rental fees, no compute surcharges, no minimums.

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.
