OpenAI API Too Expensive? Here's a Drop-In Replacement That Costs 5x Less

The Problem
You're building an AI app. You use OpenAI's API. It works great. Then the bill comes.

API costs are eating your margins. You look at alternatives — Claude, Gemini, local models. Either they're also expensive, require infrastructure changes, or need GPU hardware you don't have.

There's a simpler solution.

I'm 13 and I got tired of paying OpenAI prices. So I built an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint running on serverless GPUs that costs roughly 5x less.

It's called ZPW Inference API. It works with literally one line change to your existing code.

Currently running Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct on serverless RTX GPUs. Sub-5 second latency. Streaming support. No minimum spend.
