OpenAI-Compatible inference API for open models




Scalattice is a distributed AI inference network and API that connects software developers with independent GPU providers.
We enable developers to run inference jobs on popular open-source large language models through an OpenAI-compatible API without paying the premium prices charged by traditional centralized cloud providers.
By aggregating compute from gaming rigs, homelabs, and datacenters, the platform lowers operational costs for machine learning inference.
The system addresses the rising costs and limited availability of specialized AI hardware.
Scalattice manages routing, request validation, security tiers, and regional compliance while distributing inference-only tasks to hosts.
Developers interact with a standard REST interface, while hardware owners monetize their idle computing power by executing jobs locally via a dedicated background agent.
Scalattice is designed for technical builders needing cost-effective model hosting as well as hardware owners looking to monetize compute:
A software team building a customer service chatbot can switch their existing OpenAI integration to Scalattice to run open-weight models like Llama or Qwen at a lower per-token rate, significantly reducing monthly operational bills.
Hardware enthusiasts with high-end desktop gaming setups or homelab racks can run the provider agent on nights and weekends, monetizing idle electricity and hardware to earn revenue whenever they are not actively using their machines.
A European enterprise needing to adhere to strict regional data rules can enforce EU-only routing headers, ensuring all inference processing remains isolated within compliant European geographic borders.
Scalattice operates on a Freemium, pay-as-you-go usage model. Developers pay published rates per million input and output tokens using prepaid account credits, with rates varying by model architecture and real-time demand.
Hardware providers pay a $0 platform connection fee, earn the majority share of developer token spend on completed jobs, and can request on-demand payouts once reaching a $5 minimum balance.
Custom enterprise agreements are available for dedicated GPU pools, specific jurisdictions, and annual PO invoicing.
Scalattice functions as a distributed alternative to centralized AI inference platforms like Together AI, Groq, and OpenRouter.
Unlike traditional cloud providers that host models in centralized server farms, Scalattice uses a peer-to-peer network model that lets distributed third parties provide GPU capacity, yielding competitive token pricing and flexible geographic routing.
How do I switch an existing OpenAI project to Scalattice?
You only need to change the API key and set the base URL to api.scalattice.cloud/v1 within the official OpenAI client library, then pass any supported open model name.
What kind of hardware is supported for providers?
The network accepts both consumer graphics cards and enterprise datacenter hardware. Gaming setups, homelabs, and server racks can all run the host software.
