Inference.net
Inference.net is a hosted inference platform for teams that want cheaper, task-specific models.
Inference.net is a hosted inference platform for teams that want cheaper, task-specific models. It sells Deploy (managed hosting, a gateway with 63 serverless models at per-token prices), Observe and Trace (capture every LLM call, tool call and agent step), Evaluate, and Train (fine-tune a small model on your traffic). HALO is their open-source tool that reads an agent's traces and finds where it fails (MIT, 1.2k stars on its GitHub page, read 2026-10-09). Relation to our focus: the agent side of serving, tracing and tuning agents, plus hosted models that list a cached-input price for most proprietary and some open models; there is no KV-cache product and the docs do not mention caching.
