Speed First

The fastest agentic models

MiMo V2.5 Pro UltraSpeed peaks at 1,000 tokens/second. GLM 5.2 Fast runs at roughly twice standard throughput. Built for agents that cannot wait around.

Cached tokens, actually cheap

The token class agents actually pay for

Agent sessions re-bill the same prompt on every tool call, so 80 to 95% of your bill is cached input. We pass through DeepSeek's 97% cache discount and Fireworks' 10x GLM discount in full: cache hits from $0.0077/M, where many aggregator providers charge $0.10 to $0.33/M. Everything is upstream cost plus a flat 10%, on every token class.

OpenAI-compatible endpoint

Point your existing OpenAI client at https://api.above.dev/v1 and keep everything else. Streaming, tool calls, and structured output all work out of the box.

Live models. Honest pricing.

Direct access to the current above.dev catalog, with separate cache-hit pricing where upstream providers report it.

Where two prices are shown, the model uses off-peak and peak rates. Peak is 01:00 to 04:00 and 06:00 to 10:00 UTC on weekdays only; all other hours, including the whole weekend from 16:00 UTC Friday to 16:00 UTC Sunday, bill at the lower off-peak rate. Every response returns its exact cost in the x-cost-usd header.

What a real agent session costs

A coding-agent session with 50+ tool calls re-sends the same prompt on every call, so most of the input is served from the provider's cache. Example: 1M input tokens (90% cached) plus 100k output on GLM 5.2 costs about $0.78 here, against about $0.81 at zero-markup resellers of the official API. They resell a 5x cache discount at $0.26/M cached; we pass through Fireworks' 10x discount at $0.154/M. A flat 10% on the right upstream beats 0% on the wrong one, and the gap widens the more agentic your traffic is.
