    FlexAI Startup Program

    One account. One platform. One program.

    No re-platform when your workload grows.

    Build on OpenAI-compatible inference at the lowest predictable price in market, then scale into dedicated GPU compute on the same account.

    Free credits to get you started

    $10/month in free credits for 3 months

    Book an intro call and we'll get you set up — $10/month in free credits for your first 3 months to start building on the Token Service. A credit card is required to activate your account; you're not charged while your free credits last.

    Inside the FlexAI Startup Program

    One integrated program, three stages. You're never asked to re-apply or graduate to a different product — same account, same program.

    Stage 1

    Token Service entry

    • $1,000 of Token Service tokens to start
    • Then 50% off your first 3 months, 30% off the next 3
    • Formula pricing — 10% below cheapest market — for the life of your account
    Stage 2

    Dedicated compute

    • As your workload proves out, you qualify for dedicated GPU-minutes
    • 50% off published dedicated and managed fine-tuning prices for 6 months
    • Same account, same OpenAI-compatible path — no re-platform
    Stage 3

    Committed use

    • Lock in committed-use pricing when you're ready
    • A designed continuation, not a second cliff
    • No minimum spend

    Stage 2 and beyond are earned as your usage grows; exact terms are confirmed on your intro call.

    One account, from first token to dedicated fleet

    The same account carries you through every stage of growth — no migration, no second vendor, no re-platform.

    Try, free

    Build on the Token Service

    Ship on OpenAI-compatible inference at the lowest predictable price in market — formula pricing, 10% below the cheapest competitor on every model in our catalog.

    Commit

    Open fine-tuning & dedicated endpoints

    The same account that runs your inference today opens managed fine-tuning and dedicated endpoints tomorrow — plus an architecture call with our SE team when you're ready.

    Grow, qualified

    Scale on the Startup Program

    When you have a real workload, apply. Credits to start, discount stacking on top, and a path to dedicated GPU-minutes — all without re-platforming.

    Why founders choose FlexAI

    We don't lead with the biggest upfront credit. We lead with the lowest price you'll pay for the life of your account.

    The price is the deal, not the credit

    Other providers offer larger upfront credits. We chose smaller upfront, bigger downstream — auditable formula pricing, 10% below the cheapest competitor, for the life of your account.

    One account. One platform. One program.

    From your first inference call through fine-tuning and dedicated endpoints, it's the same account. No re-platform when your workload grows.

    No Year-2 lock-in

    No IAM, no VPC, no ecosystem entanglement. OpenAI-compatible everywhere — you can leave with a config change. Most don't, because formula pricing keeps us cheapest.

    Who qualifies

    The program is apply-only. We look for AI-native teams with a real, continuous workload:

    • $1M+ venture- or accelerator-backed, or a validated production workload
    • AI-native product — inference is central, not a side feature
    • At least one ML/AI engineer on staff
    • A continuous-inference workload in production, not project-based

    Not there yet? Explore the Token Service and apply when your workload is ready.
