Evi API

Evi API is a planned, OpenAI-style AI API for students and indie developers, now in development and not yet available. Our goal is pricing students can afford, and if our model fine-tuning research works out, this is where we'd offer it.

Why Evi API

An AI API we're building to be affordable for students.

A clean, OpenAI-style API with tiered models, planned with student-friendly pricing as a goal. If our early research produces a cheaper model, this is where we'll offer it. It hasn't launched yet, and we'll publish prices at launch.

Features

What you get

Priced for builders

Affordable pricing for students and indie developers is the goal. We'll publish prices at launch.

Switch in minutes

A familiar, OpenAI-style API surface means minimal code to adopt it.

Right model for the job

Tiered models from free and fast up to premium quality.

A cheaper model, if research works out

We're experimenting with fine-tuning existing open models to be cheaper to run. Early research, no results yet.

See it work

A student is building a project and can't afford frontier-model pricing.

1
Once the API launches, they sign up for a key and pick a tier, from a free, fast model up to a premium one. We're designing the pricing around a student budget.
2
The API follows the same OpenAI-style format their existing code already expects, so switching over is a small change.
3
If 26io's model research produces a cheaper model that works, we'll offer it through this same API, and the student's code keeps working as it is.

How it works

Three steps to get going

1
Grab a key
At launch, sign up and get an API key for a familiar, OpenAI-style API.
2
Pick a tier
Planned tiers run from free, fast models up to premium quality, with affordability as the goal.
3
Ship it
Integrate with the tools and SDKs you already know.

FAQ

Questions about Evi API

What is the Evi API?

The Evi API is a planned AI API from 26io Techlab, in an OpenAI-compatible style, aimed at students and developers who need production AI at low cost. If the studio's model fine-tuning research succeeds, the Evi API is where that model would be offered. It has not launched yet.

Will the Evi API be compatible with the OpenAI API format?

Yes, that is the design intent: an OpenAI-style API with tiered models, so existing tools and SDKs need minimal changes to switch over.
