WaveSpeedAI
The Ultimate Unified AI Inference API Platform
Access 1,000+ state-of-the-art image, video, audio and large language models through a single AI API key.
1,000+
01 Welcome to WaveSpeedAI
WaveSpeedAI is a purpose-built AI inference engine that gives developers, creative studios and enterprises unified access to the world's most advanced generative AI models. Whether you are shipping a consumer app, powering an agency workflow or scaling a production platform, our unified AI API removes the complexity of GPU orchestration, model hosting and vendor sprawl — so your team can focus on building great products instead of managing AI infrastructure.
Trusted by thousands of developers and AI-native companies worldwide, WaveSpeedAI consolidates FLUX, Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Seedream 4.5, Kling, WAN 2.7, Nano Banana Pro, Hailuo-02, Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, Qwen3 Max and hundreds more into one OpenAI-compatible AI API. Pay only for what you use. No cold starts. No vendor lock-in. Ship in minutes, not days.
One API key → 1,000+ AI models. Swap a FLUX image call for a Sora 2 video call without changing your integration. That is the WaveSpeedAI advantage.
02 Why Developers Choose Our Unified AI API
The modern AI stack is fragmented. FLUX lives on one provider, Sora 2 on another, Kling on a third, Claude and GPT on yet more platforms. Each integration brings its own SDK, authentication scheme, billing dashboard and rate limit — and your engineering team pays the tax. WaveSpeedAI eliminates that tax.
Unified AI API Access
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint for every major image, video, audio and LLM model. Swap providers without rewriting code.
Zero Cold Starts
Models stay warm on dedicated infrastructure. No container spin-up delays, no queueing — consistent performance from request one.
Sub-Second Latency
Optimized GPU clusters deliver image generation in under 2 seconds and up to 4x faster LLM token throughput than standard inference providers.
Exclusive Model Access
Get frontier models like Seedream, Kling, WAN and Hailuo that aren't available on most Western AI API platforms.
Pay-Per-Use Pricing
No monthly minimums. No subscriptions. Transparent per-token and per-generation pricing. Start free, scale as you grow.
Enterprise Ready
SOC 2 Type II certified. 99.99% uptime SLA. Private VPC deployment. BAA available. End-to-end encryption.
Whether you are evaluating a Replicate alternative, a Fal AI alternative, a RunPod alternative, or simply looking for a faster, cheaper way to run AI inference, WaveSpeedAI delivers the breadth, speed and reliability production teams need — without the infrastructure overhead.
03 The Complete AI Model Catalog
WaveSpeedAI aggregates the most advanced generative AI models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, ByteDance, Alibaba, MiniMax, Black Forest Labs, Runway and leading open-source labs into a single AI inference API. Every model is pre-deployed, pre-optimized and production-ready from day one.

Why This AI Model Catalog Matters for Your Team
01 No Vendor Lock-In
Generative AI moves fast. New state-of-the-art models appear every month. With one AI API, you can switch from FLUX to Seedream to Nano Banana Pro by changing one string — no re-architecting, no new billing relationships, no new SDKs. Future-proof your AI stack from day one.
02 Exclusive Access to Frontier Chinese Models
Kling, Seedream, Seedance, WAN and Hailuo represent some of the most advanced generative AI research on Earth — yet most Western AI API platforms do not carry them. WaveSpeedAI gives your team first-class access alongside OpenAI and Google models, without a separate integration.
03 Production-Optimized, Not Just Hosted
Every model on WaveSpeedAI ships behind our proprietary inference acceleration stack — the same engineering that delivers sub-2-second image generation and up to 4x faster LLM throughput. You get the same model weights other platforms offer, served faster.
04 Performance, Pricing & Enterprise Scale
Raw speed matters. Every millisecond of AI inference latency you shave off translates into better user experience, higher conversion and lower compute bills. WaveSpeedAI's proprietary acceleration stack — including ParaAttention, first-block caching, FP8 dynamic quantization and custom CUDA kernels — delivers measurable gains over generic AI API providers.
Flexible Pricing That Scales With You
All tiers include full access to the 1,000+ model catalog. Enterprise plans unlock private VPC deployment, dedicated GPUs with pay-per-second billing, custom model hosting, SOC 2 reports, BAA and a dedicated solutions engineer.
How Teams Cut Their AI Inference Bills
67%
Lower video generation cost reported by an enterprise video platform after migrating to our unified AI API.
4x
Faster LLM token throughput versus standard providers — more requests per GPU, lower cost per million tokens.
90%+
Savings vs idle GPU billing for sporadic workloads. Pay-per-generation replaces hourly GPU rental economics entirely.
Because WaveSpeedAI is an AI inference platform rather than a GPU rental service, you never pay for idle capacity. Our optimized inference engine — with ParaAttention, first-block caching and FP8 quantization — does more work per GPU hour, and that efficiency passes through to your bill.
05 Integration in 60 Seconds
WaveSpeedAI speaks the languages your stack already uses. Our REST AI API is idiomatic, our LLM endpoint is 100% OpenAI-compatible, and we ship official SDKs for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and Java. Any library built on the OpenAI SDK — LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, Haystack — works by swapping a single base URL. Three fields, five minutes, first call.
Generate an image with one unified AI API call
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/flux-dev" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt": "A cinematic product shot of running shoes on wet asphalt"}'
Call any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini — with your existing OpenAI code
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI( api_key="YOUR_WAVESPEED_KEY", base_url="https://llm.wavespeed.ai/v1"
)
# Swap models with one string no other code changes resp = client.chat.completions.create( model="anthropic/claude-opus-4.6", # or "openai/gpt-5.2-pro", "google/gemini-3-pro "
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this product in one line."}] ) print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
