Sail Research

💳 Trial Credits

A low-cost inference API for open models, aimed at long-running agents, with optional "completion windows" (balanced/flex) that cut prices by trading latency. The Free plan gives "$5/month in free credits when you attach a payment method". (Details partly based on third-party sources; check the provider's own page before relying on it.)
