Standard Compute

About Standard Compute

Standard Compute is an OpenAI-compatible API service for running AI agents at predictable, flat monthly rates. Instead of per-token billing, customers choose a plan and receive a fixed compute budget that covers requests across frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other labs. The service uses smart routing to automatically direct each request to the most cost-efficient model capable of handling it, and optimizes pricing by selecting among multiple providers for the same model. Plans range from Starter at $19/month to Scale at $2,499/month, with team and custom enterprise options available. The service supports any OpenAI-compatible agent and integrates with a three-step configuration change.

FAQ

How does the monthly compute budget work?

Every plan includes a fixed compute budget visible in the dashboard. Requests run at full speed until the budget is used, then stop until the billing period renews. Optional smart pacing spreads remaining budget across the month to slow responses rather than stop them. There are no per-token charges or surprise overage fees.

How can Standard Compute be cheaper than per-token APIs?

Three mechanisms combine: smart routing sends routine traffic to efficient models saving 10x on those requests; the company buys the same models from whichever provider offers the best rate at each moment; and unused budget in the shared pool goes back into serving members instead of expiring.

Will cheaper models produce worse results?

Smart routing automatically selects the right model for each request. Customers can include frontier models like Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra for demanding work alongside efficient models for routine tasks. For more control, users can specify exactly which models the router may use or select a single model.

What happens if my budget runs out?

Requests stop and you can always see exactly how much compute remains in the dashboard. If you need more, an upgrade takes effect immediately. Otherwise, everything resets when your billing period renews. Nothing ever charges on top of your plan price.

Is my data used for model training?

Standard Compute does not use prompts or outputs to train its own models. The Regions & privacy page details whether no-training and zero data retention enforcement are active for your keys. When active, both are required for upstream routing, though temporary provider caches and service metadata may still be retained.
