π₯ Confirmed & Tested
What: Batch + on-demand data API (X/Twitter, Reddit). SDK with GravityClient, Sn13Client, BillingClient.
Pricing: $0.05/1k rows (batch) Β· $0.10/1k rows (on-demand) Β· Credits don't expire Β· TAO payment coming soonβ’
Free tier: $5.00 credits
Best for: Research, guide content, data exploration. Not suitable as direct miner feed β validators detect duplicate data.
macrocosmos.ai βWhat: Decentralized web search API. We use it for research and SN70 Vericore miner integration.
Open question: Can we pay in TAO instead of USD?
desearch.ai βWhat: Serverless AI inference β deploy and run open-source models. #1 subnet by usage. 160B+ tokens/day. Deploys new HuggingFace models within 24h of release.
How we use it: Integrated directly into OpenClaw as a model provider. We run DeepSeek V3, Mistral, GLM and others via Chutes aliases for cost-efficient tasks.
Pricing: ~$0.22/M tokens β roughly 85% cheaper than AWS. All revenue goes to alpha token buybacks.
Notable: TEE support for private inference. Serves majority of free DeepSeek on OpenRouter. #3 DePIN project by revenue (~$6M annual).
Models: DeepSeek V3, Mistral Small, GLM-4, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax and more β updated constantly.

NVIDIA H200s & 4090s, confidential compute. Usage-based pricing. GPU-focused β unlikely fit for general hosting.
targon.com βOpen-source model inference via Bittensor. Could partially replace LLM costs for utility tasks. No Claude/GPT.
sybil.com βBehind Vercel checkpoint β needs manual browser visit to check pricing. Potential LLM inference alternative.
nineteen.ai βSite was unreachable as of May 2026. May be deprecated or migrating.
