Khidi bridges gap between developers and cheaper open-weight AI models

A new service called Khidi aims to bridge the gap between developers and the cost-effectiveness of open-weight AI models. The founder explains that while open models have become technically comparable to flagship offerings, the complexity of accessing and paying for them creates a barrier. Khidi simplifies this by providing an OpenAI-compatible API gateway, handling inference sourcing, metering, and key management, allowing users to pay via card or USDT. This approach aims to make cheaper models accessible without the technical hurdles of direct provider integration. AI
