• Wally Model API Sold on its own

  Hosted chat-completions API for a fixed catalogue of open models, compatible with the OpenAI API, with a console for keys, billing and a playground; production requests are run with zero data retention for prompt and completion bodies, and the service is a preview with no uptime commitment; sold as prepaid credits bought through the console, each request debited at the model's listed price, with a $5 welcome grant on first sign-in.
