As inference demand skyrockets, this inefficiency becomes a bottleneck. Enter <strong>stateful inference</strong>:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Almost-Zero-Cost Input Tokens</strong> Context persists across calls, so you never overpay for tokens you’ve already sent. </li> <li> <strong>Optimized GPU Utilization</strong> Less recompute = more throughput on the same hardware. </li> </ul> <p>We built ARK Cloud API to fix that. Our <strong>stateful mode</strong> “remembers” your context so your <strong>input tokens cost zero</strong>—forever. That means richer, longer conversations and way more efficient GPU use.</p> <h2> Key Features </h2> <ul> <li>🚀 <strong>10-Second Onboarding</strong> Google SSO → Dashboard → API Key. Blink, and you’re running inference. </li> <li>💰 <strong>50 000 Free Credits</strong> No credit card required. Fuel LLMs, STT, embeddings, and Stable Diffusion. </li> <li>🔀 <strong>OpenAI-Compatible API</strong> Swap endpoints, keep your existing code. </li> <li>🇪🇺 <strong>100% EU Infrastructure</strong> GDPR-strong, no logs, no stored data. </li> <li>💸 <strong>Pay-As-You-Go</strong> Only pay for output tokens and compute time. </li> <li>🎨 <strong>Cheapest Stable Diffusion</strong> Best price on the market for Stable Diffusion</li> </ul> <p>Visit ark-labs.cloud</p> <ol> <li>Sign in with Google (⏱️ 10s)</li> <li>Claim your 50 000 free credits</li> <li>Integrate your existing calls to ARK Cloud API</li> <li>Scale with confidence—no hidden fees, total privacy</li> </ol> ai llm openai
