CheapestInference sells unlimited time-block subscriptions on a model pool. Two pools are active: the Frontier Pool bundles Kimi K2.7 + Kimi K2.6 + GLM 5.2 + MiniMax M3, and the Core Pool bundles DeepSeek V4 Flash + MiMo v2.5. A subscription covers every model in its pool.

Models in each pool
Section titled “Models in each pool”Every model in your pool is available throughout your reserved blocks. The lineup of a pool can change over time — GET /v1/models is always the authoritative live list.

More pools via community pledges
Section titled “More pools via community pledges”Additional pools open through community pledges. Pledge for a model at cheapestinference.com/pools; when enough subscribers commit to a specific model, a new pool activates. See the Unlimited Subscriptions API for the full subscribe flow and response shapes.
Payment methods
Section titled “Payment methods”| Method | For |
|---|---|
| Card (Stripe) | Time-block subscriptions (monthly + annual) |
| USDC on Base | Subscriptions |
| x402 | Agent subscriptions (no human setup needed) |
Card subscriptions (Stripe) renew automatically each cycle (monthly or yearly) until you cancel — cancel anytime and access continues to the end of the paid period. USDC and x402 subscriptions are one-time (30 days, no auto-renewal) — you renew manually.
Concurrency
Section titled “Concurrency”Each key handles a limited number of simultaneous requests during your reserved block. To run more requests in parallel — or to isolate clients — reserve additional seats and use one key each. Keys are independent, so one busy key never starves the others.
