What Munito AI sells

Munito AI sells inference on open models, in three forms:

  • Serverless inference. Send requests to the shared models with an API key. Pay the posted price of each token or each page with prepaid credits. See Models and pricing.
  • Committed spend. Commit to an amount of usage for volume rates, with a contract and a monthly invoice. See Committed spend.
  • Dedicated endpoints. Get GPU capacity for one open model that only your organization uses, by contract. See Dedicated endpoints.

APIs

Munito AI serves the APIs below. Keep your OpenAI or Anthropic SDK, and change the base URL, the key and the model ID.

  • OpenAI Chat Completions: POST /v1/chat/completions.
  • OpenAI Responses: POST /v1/responses.
  • OpenAI speech to text: POST /v1/audio/transcriptions. See Speech to text.
  • Anthropic Messages: POST /v1/messages.
  • OCR: POST /v1/ocr converts PDFs and images to Markdown. See Document AI.

Each path starts with https://api.munito.ai/inference. API compatibility shows what each endpoint supports.

Models

Munito AI serves these open models:

Models and pricing lists each model with its regions and its prices, and the models in preview. GET /models lists the public models, also without a key.

Regions and data privacy

  • The EU host runs each request in the EU, and the US host runs each request in the US. The global host can use either region. See Regions.
  • Each response names its region in the munito-region header: EUROPE, US or GLOBAL.
  • Munito AI keeps no prompts or outputs by default, and it does not train models on your data. See Data privacy.
  • The GDPR Data Processing Agreement (DPA) forms part of the Terms of Service. See GDPR and EU data residency.
