Skip if

You want the widest multi-provider aggregator (OpenRouter), published per-model pricing today, or the Prime Agent CLI harness (Agents shelf) rather than a BYOK inference key.

Pros

OpenAI-compatible inference API at `https://api.pinference.ai/api/v1` on the same Prime Intellect stack that trains models — routes to various providers for open and custom models; dedicated deploys, LoRA adapters, and serverless endpoints for your checkpoints; evals-first workflow (`prime inference models`, `prime env eval`); token billing from Prime balance; team accounts via `X-Prime-Team-ID`.

Cons

Per-model pricing not fully published in docs ("more details on pricing soon"); eval/RL-lab shaped vs a general OpenRouter-style hobby gateway; not the Prime Agent CLI harness (separate Agents-shelf card at `/tools/prime-agent`); not hands-on verified here.
