Add a DeepInfra AI API key to SCM and pick from 100 open source models. Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemma and gpt-oss, from 0.01c an article.
Pay as you go, no subscription.
This is similar to OpenRouter. One key, to access models across different vendors.
Why use this?
- 1 key gets you every open source model on 1 bill, no separate accounts for Meta, DeepSeek or Alibaba
- Cheapest way to run the small models. Llama 3.1 8B is $0.04 per 1M output tokens, 1,500 words for under 0.01c
- The model list comes from DeepInfra live, so a new release shows up in SCM the day it lands
- Models tagged for tools work as the agent in SEO Workspace, the others write pages
Requires a DeepInfra account with credit on it.
DeepInfra or OpenRouter?
Both give you 1 key for the open source models. The price is close, the difference is what each one is.
| DeepInfra | OpenRouter | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Runs its own GPUs | Router, sends you to the cheapest host |
| Fee on top up | None | 5.5% |
| Llama 3.1 8B, per 1M out | $0.04 | $0.08 |
| gpt-oss-120b, per 1M out | $0.17 | $0.17 |
| DeepSeek V4 Flash, per 1M out | $0.18 | $0.13 |
| Models | About 100 open | About 450, Claude, GPT and Gemini included |
| Free models | None | 19 |
| Requests at once | 200 per model | Depends on the host |
Pick DeepInfra if you have settled on an open model and want the lowest steady price. Pick OpenRouter if you want the closed models on the same key or want failover.
