AI compute with no usage limits for the people who run agents. One API key, one flat price, zero per-token billing.
Standard Compute exists to make AI compute accessible and predictable for the people who run agents. We believe that anyone keeping an AI agent working around the clock should never have to worry about surprise bills or opaque usage limits.
Every plan we offer is flat-rate. Three plans — Economy ($39/mo), Standard ($89/mo), and Max ($249/mo) — each with no usage caps. Higher tiers get faster execution and priority scheduling. You pick a plan, plug your API key into your agent, and build without watching a meter.
Most LLM APIs charge per token. That model works for experimenting, but it falls apart the moment an agent runs hundreds or thousands of requests a day. Costs become unpredictable, budgets get blown, and teams start rationing the very capability they adopted AI to unlock.
We founded Standard Compute to fix that. A single monthly price, no per-token billing, no cut-offs. The internet stopped billing by the minute and streaming stopped billing per movie; compute is next. Predictable costs mean you can finally treat intelligence the way you treat any other utility — turn it on and leave it running.
Set your model to "standardcompute" and our routing algorithm does the rest. Every request is analyzed for complexity, token budget, and current provider load — then matched to an appropriate model automatically. Simple requests go to fast, efficient models; complex reasoning, coding, and tool-heavy work get stronger models when needed.
If a provider has issues, your requests are seamlessly rerouted. You never pick a model, manage fallbacks, or juggle API keys across providers. One key, one model name, and we handle the intelligence behind it.
Our API is designed from the ground up for AI agents — OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Pi, OpenCode, and anything else that speaks the OpenAI format. The base URL (https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1) is OpenAI-compatible, so switching is three edits: the base URL, the key, and the model name. We support the /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions, and /v1/responses endpoints.
We optimize for the patterns that matter when agents run unattended: fast cold starts, consistent latency, high concurrency, and graceful handling of bursty traffic. Whether your agent is fixing failing tests, triaging support tickets, or planning a migration, the API stays responsive.
Standard Compute is a small, lean team. We do not maintain a large sales org or run a conference circuit. Instead, we put our energy into the product — keeping latency low, availability high, and pricing simple.
Every member of the team has shipped production software and understands the frustration of unpredictable cloud bills firsthand. That shared experience shapes every decision we make, from plan design to documentation.
One clarification that keeps coming up: Standard Compute (standardcompute.com) is an independent LLM API company. We are not affiliated with Databricks, whose products include a cluster tier also called "standard compute", or with any cloud provider's generic compute offerings. If you're reading about flat-rate LLM APIs for AI agents, that's us.
We do not use your prompts or outputs to train Standard Compute's models. Our account database is hosted in the EU (AWS eu-central-1 via Supabase); prompt content is processed by upstream model providers that may operate in various jurisdictions — details on the Data & Privacy page.
API keys are encrypted server-side, database access is locked down with row-level security, and all traffic is encrypted via HTTPS. We are fully GDPR-compliant as a data controller. More on our Security and Privacy pages.
