Why Tera
01

Lowest-cost open-source inference.

Per-token pricing on the models developers actually ship. No minimums, no contracts, no enterprise-tier negotiations. See the rate before you run the request.

02

Your data stays yours.

Zero retention. Zero training. Zero human review. Prompts and completions are processed and discarded. Backed by a written privacy policy, not a press release.

03

Processed entirely in the US.

US team. US-owned GPUs. US data centers. Your inference never crosses a border. Lower latency for US customers because the hardware is close to them.

04

Open-weight only, by design.

We don't have a proprietary model to upsell you to. Tera is a pure execution layer for the open ecosystem. The day a better open model ships, it's on Tera.


Integrate

Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK.

Same API surface, lower-cost open-source models. Point your existing client at api.tera.gw and ship.

  1. 01
    Get your API key
    Sign up and grab a key from the dashboard.
  2. 02

  3. 03
    Pick a model
    Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek, GLM, gpt-oss.
api.tera.gw/v1
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(

Built for agent workloads

Everything agent builders actually need.

Designed for the inference patterns that agents generate: streaming, tool calls, reasoning traces, and high call volume.

OpenAI-compatible tool calling
The tools API works without modification. Any framework that uses OpenAI function calling routes through Tera unchanged.
Streaming responses
Server-sent events on every model. Low time-to-first-token so your agents stay responsive under load.
Reasoning content
Chain-of-thought traces surfaced as a dedicated field on reasoning models. Same API shape, no custom parsing.
Not billed for failed requests
5xx errors and rate-limit responses (429) are not charged. You pay only for tokens that are successfully processed.
No platform fee
Per-token pricing with no minimums, no contracts, and no monthly base charge. See the rate before you run the request.

Works with Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Cline, and any OpenAI-compatible framework.


FAQ

Common questions.

Is Tera's API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. Change one line: set base_url (or baseURL) to https://api.tera.gw/v1. The rest of your OpenAI SDK code works unchanged. Chat completions, streaming, and tool calling are all supported.

What models are available?

Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek, GLM, gpt-oss, MiniMax, and Gemma, with more added as production-quality open models ship. The full list with per-token pricing is at tera.gw/pricing.

How do I get started?

Sign up at tera.gw/dashboard, create an API key, and you can make your first call within minutes. No approval process, no contracts, no minimums.

What does Tera cost?

Per-token pricing, no platform fee, no minimums. Prices vary by model. See the full rate card at tera.gw/pricing. Failed requests (5xx errors, 429 rate limits) are not billed.

Where is my data processed?

All inference runs on US-owned infrastructure in US data centers. Prompts and completions are processed and discarded. Zero logging, zero retention, zero training on your data.

Does Tera support streaming and tool calling?

Yes. Set stream: true for server-sent events on any model. The OpenAI tools API (function calling) is supported. Reasoning models also surface chain-of-thought traces in a dedicated reasoning field.

What agent frameworks work with Tera?

Any framework that speaks the OpenAI API works without modification: LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI, and tools like Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and Cline.
