Welcome to Kotoba Cloud
One API. Verified researchers. OpenAI-compatible — tool calls and streaming included.
Kotoba Cloud is an OpenAI-compatible inference API. Point an existing OpenAI SDK at https://api.kotoba.cloud/v1 and call security-research-tuned models behind guardrails, a firewall and audit receipts. The verified free allowance stays; add prepaid credits only as you need them.
Why Kotoba Cloud
-
OpenAI-compatible by design
Every request and response is in the OpenAI JSON shape. Change one line (base_url) and streaming, tool calling and reasoning keep working. Anthropic-protocol tools drop the /v1 from the base URL.
-
Admission for researchers
Red-team models run only behind card-based identity verification, AUP consent and an approved scope; blue-team models need a sign-in. Guardrails run on every request either way.
-
Prepaid, no markup on the meter
1 credit = $1. Input $0.9/M and output $4.5/M tokens, settled from the provider receipt. No automatic top-up; with no balance you are simply on the free allowance.
-
Zero data retention
Prompts and outputs are processed in memory; no inference logs. What remains is verification status, evidence references and audit receipts.
