check mark
Same Capability. Lower Cost.Teams using OpenAI or Anthropic are already running inference at scale — which means costs add up quickly.
check mark
Faster throughput, lower latency.FriendliAI outperforms OpenAI and vLLM-based systems in both throughput and latency.
check mark
Ready for agentic apps.FriendliAI provides stable, reliable function-calling APIs, ensuring predictable structured outputs,  allowing teams to build and run agentic applications seamlessly.
check mark
Switch with minimal effort.Migration is simple and fast. FriendliAI is OpenAI-compatible, so most teams can switch with as little as three lines of code.
Make The Switch

Built for Inference. Not Retro‑Fitted.

Currently using OpenAI or Anthropic?

  • Rising per‑token costs

  • Limited visibility into performance

  • Vendor lock‑in to proprietary models 

Move to open models on FriendliAI and keep performance high while reducing cost.

Already using open models on platforms like Together AI or Fireworks?

  • Looking for better throughput and latency

  • Need more control over deployment options

  • Want a more reliable, production-ready inference stack

FriendliAI delivers 99.99% reliability with an inference-first architecture built for production workloads.
