OpenAI Alternative

Same API. Open models. Your documents. No idle GPU costs.

Drop in a Lexora API key and keep your OpenAI SDK. Get Qwen3, DeepSeek, Kimi, and FLUX — plus free knowledge bases so your chatbot actually knows your data.

OpenAI-compatible — drop-in

Same /v1/chat/completions, same streaming, same SDK. Change the base URL, keep your code.

Open-weight models, no lock-in

Qwen3 8B hosted on our distributed network. DeepSeek V4, Kimi 2.7, FLUX Dev through partner routing. You're never stuck on one vendor.

Built-in RAG for free

OpenAI Assistants API charges per assistant + storage + vector hours. Lexora gives you knowledge bases included — pay only for inference.

Distributed, not idle

Inference runs on a distributed network of providers. You pay per token generated — never for warm GPUs sitting idle.

How simple it looks

Drop-in OpenAI-compatible API. No special SDK.

Python
from openai import OpenAI

# Only thing that changes: the base URL
client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://api.lexora.network/v1",
  api_key="YOUR_LEXORA_KEY",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B",   # or DeepSeek, Kimi, etc.
  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Keep your OpenAI SDK. Drop OpenAI's bill.

Start free with $1 signup credit. Build a knowledge base, run inference across hosted and frontier models, and pay only when you use it.
