How does this get voted up when the url does not work? Tried on two separate machines and networks. Could be something on my end but does not seem like it.

archerx• 8 months ago

The link works for me.

infecto4• 8 months ago

Weird.

Looks like NextDNS blocks this for some reason. I would be wary anyone else, rarely if ever have I had a site blocked by NextDNS like this.

How does LiteAPI get API credits at a discount?
We secure credits and discounted spend directly from our VC network

LMFAO. Jesus christ.

The same question can be asked of any AI investiment.

The answer is "who cares". Use it while they are fool are willing to burn money in the AI pyre. After that we're back to business as usual.

Unlike OpenRouter, LiteAPI focuses exclusively on premium enterprise-grade models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and offers up to 50 % lower cost through our VC-backed credit sourcing system

I got my answer. I will gladly use AIs with other people’s money.

offers up to 50 % lower cost through our VC-backed credit sourcing system.

Could someone explain what a credit sourcing system is? Eating difference via vc money? Or something more sustainable?

Nothing is sustainable about offering a price lower than what your supplier charges.

Tell that to CDW, they hit $21B in revenue and have been at it for 41 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDW

I’d wager they are taking startup credits offered by google, microsoft, amazon, et al to startups and reselling them. So someone can take 10k in azure credits and sell them to these people for a few grand.

these people are going to ruin a good thing.

brazukadev2• 8 months ago

Free credits are not a good thing long term as we can see with multiple tech monopolies we currently have so I'd be very happy if they can ruin it.

Is this another I'll sell you $1 for $0.60 VC trick?

Maybe they are trying to make people use their API while they build an actual inference infrastructure behind?

energy123• 8 months ago

They don't disclose whether the LLM provider trains on your data, which most likely means they do.

dzink• 8 months ago

So what’s the catch? Are they selling the prompting data?

scosman• 8 months ago

We secure credits and discounted spend directly from our VC network and cloud partners, allowing us to pass the savings to users.

So it won’t last. One huge customer will blow through their fixed credits quickly.

If you have VC, Google will give you 200k+ in credits, which beats 40% off.

Looks cool! Does it support prompt caching? And do you have any data showing how your latency compares to going directly to the model providers? I’m thinking about trying it out but those are my two big reservations.

BugsJustFindMe3• 8 months ago

The "client" testimonies are fake. They were stupid enough to include one of the profile images in a large enough size to reverse image search. This is a scam.

Flagging.

infecto4• 8 months ago

Ahh this might be why NextDns blocks this.

adrianbooth17• 8 months ago

Looks so scammy. Privacy policy & T&Cs links don't work. And i'd be suspicious of any vibe coded website with fake testimonials that offers LLM inference at a discount.
