Performance vs price

Frontier-class intelligence, a quarter of the price.

The world's best open models, from Z.ai, Moonshot and DeepSeek, now come close to closed frontier models at a fraction of the cost. Scores are the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, covering reasoning, knowledge, coding and agentic tasks. They run any LLM workload: chat, agents, extraction, RAG.

Privacy

Zero data retention.

We never store your prompts or responses. They pass through in memory only, for the moment it takes to answer, then they are gone. We keep just what billing needs: token counts and cost. No prompts, no completions, and we never train on your data.

On the roadmap

Next: hosted in Egypt, data stays in Egypt.

Egyptian-hosted models are coming soon: an in-country tier under Egypt's data-protection law, built for banks and government that need their data to stay home.
