## Common questions

### What is DeepInfra?

DeepInfra is an inference-focused GPU cloud that runs open-weight and open-source models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, Nemotron, Mistral, IBM Granite, and 100+ others) behind a pay-as-you-go API. Founded in September 2022 in Palo Alto by Nikola Borisov (CEO), Georgios Papoutsis, and Yessenzhar Kanapin, the team previously ran the infrastructure behind the imo messenger, which processed billions of messages a day for over 200 million monthly users. That operator DNA is the pitch: squeeze open-weight inference far below hyperscaler list price and hand developers a token meter instead of an instance bill.
