Standard Compute documentation
Standard Compute gives your AI agents one API key for frontier and open models. You pay a fixed monthly plan instead of per-token bills, and a router picks a capable model for each request.
The API is compatible with both OpenAI and Anthropic clients. In most tools, you change the base URL and API key and everything else keeps working.

How it works
- Your agent sends a normal OpenAI or Anthropic request to Standard Compute.
- If the model is
standardcompute, the router picks a model from the ones you've enabled on the Models page. If you send a specific model ID, that exact model is used. - The response comes back in the format your client expects. Usage is counted against your plan's monthly budget, which you can watch in the dashboard.
