Common questions answered by our AI research team
Yes. Clarifai's Compute Orchestration is fully OpenAI-compatible, so you can switch from OpenAI to Clarifai with just a couple of quick setting changes — no new SDKs and no code rewrite required. You simply point your existing app to Clarifai's API endpoint and start using it immediately.
The NVIDIA H100 80GB 48XL (p5.48xlarge) on AWS us-east-1 is priced at $1.1467 per minute. Yes, pricing scales down to the minute — the page explicitly states 'Only pay for the compute you use, down to the minute.'
Yes, the free 'Pay As You Go' tier supports up to 100 requests per second with no monthly commitment. For dedicated compute, Clarifai offers a free 14-day trial, as stated on the pricing page: 'Benchmark your models on the world's fastest inference engine with a free 14-day trial.'
AI Runners is a feature that securely bridges your local AI models, MCP servers, and agents to Clarifai's cloud via a robust API, allowing you to interact with and call your local models using the Clarifai API. It works by exposing models running on your local machines or private servers directly to Clarifai's Control Plane, streamlining development without requiring those models to be fully hosted in the cloud.
Yes. The Enterprise plan explicitly includes 'Optional air-gapped deployments and private data planes' as listed features, along with options for self-hosting, hybrid cloud deployments, and direct integration with existing infrastructure.
