What it does

SiliconFlow is a hosted AI inference platform that gives developers one API for open and commercial language models and for image, video, and audio models. Requests go in over the API and come back as chat completions, generated images, videos, or speech output.

Teams use it to add model calls to applications such as coding assistants, retrieval-augmented generation, agent workflows, content generation, and search. Deployment options include serverless pay-per-use access, fine-tuning with one-click deployment, reserved GPUs, elastic GPUs, and an AI Gateway with routing, rate limits, and cost control. The site describes the API as OpenAI-compatible.

It suits developers and technical teams who want usage-based billing. Chat models are billed per million input and output tokens, while image, video, and audio models are priced by output. Setup means creating an account and getting an API key. Volume discounts and enterprise terms go through the sales team.
