Frequently Asked Questions

Exerati is an AI infrastructure platform for developers and businesses. We provide an OpenAI-compatible API, AI chat, CLI access, and vision model testing through a single, unified interface.

Exerati is designed for developers, engineering teams, and businesses that need reliable AI model access. Whether you are building a chatbot, analyzing images, generating code, or prototyping AI features, Exerati provides the infrastructure you need.

We provide access to a curated catalog of models across text, vision, code, and audio modalities. Browse our Models page for the full list with pricing and capabilities. New models are added regularly.

Yes. Our API follows the OpenAI specification. You can use existing OpenAI SDKs by changing the base URL to https://api.exerati.com/v1. Request and response formats are identical.

We do not currently offer proprietary SDKs. However, because our API is OpenAI-compatible, you can use the official OpenAI Python, Node.js, and other community SDKs with a simple base URL change. Proprietary SDKs are on our roadmap.

Default rate limits are 60 requests per minute per API key. Premium accounts get 600 requests per minute, and enterprise accounts get up to 6,000. You can configure individual key limits from your dashboard.

Yes. Our CLI tool allows you to connect to AI models directly from the terminal. You can pipe data, chain commands, and integrate into CI/CD pipelines and scripts.

Exerati uses a points-based billing system. Each subscription package includes a monthly points allowance. API usage is charged in points based on token counts — non-cached input tokens, cached tokens (10x cheaper), and output tokens. Unused subscription points carry over to the next cycle. You can also purchase top-up points separately.

Yes. The Free package includes 50 points per month, 5 requests per minute, and access to all available models. It is free forever — no credit card required.

We offer four tiers: Free (50 pts/mo, $0), Solo (2,500 pts/mo, $6), Prime (7,500 pts/mo, $15), and Apex (20,000 pts/mo, $30). Higher tiers unlock more points, higher rate limits, and more concurrent requests. All tiers include points carry-over.

Navigate to the Points section in your dashboard and click Buy Top-Up Points. Top-up points are purchased at $0.003 per point, never expire, and are consumed after your subscription points are used. We currently support simulated payments for beta testing.

API keys are hashed with bcrypt before storage. We only store the first 8 characters (key prefix) for identification purposes. The full key is shown exactly once at creation and cannot be retrieved later.

We log API request metadata (endpoint, model, token counts, timing) for usage tracking and debugging. We do not log request or response payloads. All logs are immutable and retained for 90 days.

Yes. Two-factor authentication is available for all accounts. Enable it from your Profile settings for an additional layer of security.
