How does this get voted up when the url does not work? Tried on two separate machines and networks. Could be something on my end but does not seem like it.
archerx•2mo ago
The link works for me.
infecto•2mo ago
Weird.
infecto•2mo ago
Looks like NextDNS blocks this for some reason. I would be wary anyone else, rarely if ever have I had a site blocked by NextDNS like this.

> How does LiteAPI get API credits at a discount?

> We secure credits and discounted spend directly from our VC network

LMFAO. Jesus christ.

surgical_fire•2mo ago
The same question can be asked of any AI investiment.

The answer is "who cares". Use it while they are fool are willing to burn money in the AI pyre. After that we're back to business as usual.

sbinnee•2mo ago
> Unlike OpenRouter, LiteAPI focuses exclusively on premium enterprise-grade models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and offers up to 50 % lower cost through our VC-backed credit sourcing system

I got my answer. I will gladly use AIs with other people’s money.

Havoc•2mo ago
> offers up to 50 % lower cost through our VC-backed credit sourcing system.

Could someone explain what a credit sourcing system is? Eating difference via vc money? Or something more sustainable?

BugsJustFindMe•2mo ago
Nothing is sustainable about offering a price lower than what your supplier charges.

Tell that to CDW, they hit $21B in revenue and have been at it for 41 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDW
prodigycorp•2mo ago
I’d wager they are taking startup credits offered by google, microsoft, amazon, et al to startups and reselling them. So someone can take 10k in azure credits and sell them to these people for a few grand.

these people are going to ruin a good thing.

brazukadev•2mo ago
Free credits are not a good thing long term as we can see with multiple tech monopolies we currently have so I'd be very happy if they can ruin it.
prodigycorp•2mo ago
And yet they also lower the barrier for people trying to build a business with little capital for infrastructure.

Nothing is stoping you from moving everything to your own box when you run out of credits.

brazukadev•2mo ago
The fact that I can do X or Y doesn't change the fact that the company offering free credits for me want and will monopolize the market and charge 10x more later. Just declining to use those "free" credits will still hurt me and you in the future.
mythz•2mo ago
Is this another I'll sell you $1 for $0.60 VC trick?
Maken•2mo ago
Maybe they are trying to make people use their API while they build an actual inference infrastructure behind?
energy123•2mo ago
They don't disclose whether the LLM provider trains on your data, which most likely means they do.
dzink•2mo ago
So what’s the catch? Are they selling the prompting data?
scosman•2mo ago
> We secure credits and discounted spend directly from our VC network and cloud partners, allowing us to pass the savings to users.

So it won’t last. One huge customer will blow through their fixed credits quickly.

If you have VC, Google will give you 200k+ in credits, which beats 40% off.

karagenit•2mo ago
Looks cool! Does it support prompt caching? And do you have any data showing how your latency compares to going directly to the model providers? I’m thinking about trying it out but those are my two big reservations.
BugsJustFindMe•2mo ago
The "client" testimonies are fake. They were stupid enough to include one of the profile images in a large enough size to reverse image search. This is a scam.

Flagging.

infecto•2mo ago
Ahh this might be why NextDns blocks this.
adrianbooth17•2mo ago
Looks so scammy. Privacy policy & T&Cs links don't work. And i'd be suspicious of any vibe coded website with fake testimonials that offers LLM inference at a discount.
