General Questions

What is AiMo Network?

AiMo Network is a decentralized Intelligence Marketplace that provides a permissionless and unifies API to access models, mcp servers, and other bulding block of AI agents from various service providers.

How is AiMo Network different from OpenRouter?

  • Permissionless Access: Anyone can join as a user or service provider, regardless of identity, location, or affiliation, and participate freely in the marketplace without gatekeeping or approval processes. Our roadmap includes a fully permissionless router network, enabling anyone to operate routing infrastructure and earn rewards for providing network services.

  • Competitive Token Pricing: Unlike OpenRouter, which charges 5% markup on token prices (8% for crypto payments), AiMo Network only applies a 3% markup on stablecoin payments. Users pay directly for tokens consumed, ensuring fair compensation for providers while maintaining transparent, low-cost access.

  • Agent-Native Infrastructure: AiMo Network is purpose-built for AI agents, providing native compatibility as foundational infrastructure for autonomous AI systems. Our expanding ecosystem will include MCP servers, context management, and comprehensive AI agent building blocks—creating a complete platform for intelligent automation.

What types of models are available?

We support a wide range of AI model types including LLMs, image generation, code generation, embedding, and multimodal models. Our permissionless marketplace enables unique access to model categories that traditional providers often restrict:

1. Open-Source Models: Community-driven models like Llama 3.1, Llama 3.2, Mistral 7B, Qwen2.5, and Phi-3 that anyone can host and serve, fostering innovation and competition.

2. Uncensored & Alternative Models: Fine-tuned and alternative versions of popular architectures with reduced content filtering, including community models based on Llama, Mistral, and other open-source foundations that allow more flexible use cases.

3. Edge Computing Models: Lightweight models optimized for edge deployment, such as Llama 3.2 1B/3B, Phi-3.5-Mini, and Qwen2.5 0.5B/1.5B, enabling low-latency local inference.

4. Self-Hosted Infrastructure: Custom-trained and privately-hosted models on user-controlled infrastructure, ensuring complete data sovereignty and specialized model capabilities.

Technical Questions

Are you compatible with OpenAI API?

Yes, many of our endpoints are OpenAI-compatible, making it easy to switch existing applications to AiMo Network with minimal code changes.

How do you ensure high availability?

We use multiple strategies:

  • Multiple providers for popular models
  • Automatic failover and retry logic
  • Global load balancing
  • 99.9% uptime SLA

Billing & Payments

How does billing work?

  • Pay-per-use: You're only charged for successful requests
  • Real-time billing: Usage is tracked and billed immediately
  • Transparent pricing: No hidden fees or markup
  • Detailed reporting: View usage and costs in your dashboard

What payment methods do you accept?

Right now, we only support USDC stablecoin on Solana for payments.

Can I get a refund?

Due to the nature of the platform, we do not offer refunds for most cases. However, if you have a valid reason, you can contact us at support@aimo.network.

Security & Privacy

How do you protect my data?

We, as the router network, do not store any data from the requests. However, the providers can store the data if they want to.

Who can see my API requests?

For now by default, only you and providerscan see your requests.

Provider Questions

Can I become a model provider?

Yes! We're always looking for new providers. See our Provider Guide for details on how to join our network.

How much can I earn as a provider?

Earnings vary based on model popularity, pricing, and performance. Top providers earn thousands of dollars per month. See Pricing & Rewards for details. For top-rating providers, we will provide additional incentives.
