io.net AI API pricing

io.net aggregates idle GPU capacity from data centers, crypto miners, and independent operators into a single on-demand cluster, typically 30-90% cheaper than centralized clouds. The IO Intelligence layer adds an OpenAI-compatible inference API serving 25+ open-weight models (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen) on this distributed fleet.

Best for

Researchers, fine-tuners, and inference startups that need cheap, burstable GPU capacity.

Strengths

  • H100 SXM clusters from ~$1.50/GPU-hour — well under hyperscaler prices
  • Ray-native — spin up a 100-GPU cluster in under 90 seconds
  • IO Intelligence: serverless inference for 25+ open models
  • $IO token-incentivized supply keeps capacity unusually elastic
