The founding plan includes one active generation, 256K context, and 24/7 availability, and is compatible with Hermes, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Aider via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.", "body_md": "[Now live as Stream](/stream)\n\n# Unlimited DeepSeek API for coding agents. One fixed monthly price.\n\nPower Hermes, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Aider, and other high-volume agents without counting tokens or managing GPUs. Unlimited token usage, transparent concurrency, and no overage charges. Now live as [Stream](/stream).\n\nAvailable through the [Camel Stream API platform](/stream).\n\nWhy flat rate\n\n## Stop engineering around the token bill.\n\nAgent workloads read files, call tools, retry, and carry long histories. Their cost is difficult to predict because their work is difficult to predict.\n\n### No token meter\n\nUse the model without a monthly token allowance or surprise overage line item.\n\n### Capacity you can understand\n\nOne active generation on the founding plan. Extra requests queue instead of increasing your bill.\n\n### No GPU operations\n\nWe handle model weights, serving, recovery, routing, and cache management.\n\nCommon deployment patterns\n\n## Put unlimited DeepSeek to work.\n\nUse the flat-rate API as your primary inference layer, an overflow path, or backup capacity.\n\n### Power your free tier\n\nOffer useful AI features to every user without attaching an open-ended per-token cost to adoption.\n\n### Keep users going past limits\n\nRoute requests to DeepSeek after premium-model credits run out, so users can keep working while you protect margins.\n\n### Run high-volume agents\n\nPower request-heavy coding agents and autonomous tools like Hermes and OpenClaw without metering every loop.\n\n### Back up your main provider\n\nAdd a fallback route for outages or degraded service, keeping critical AI workflows available when your primary provider is not.\n\nCoding agent compatibility\n\n## One DeepSeek API for Hermes, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Aider, and more.\n\nIf your coding agent accepts a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, it can use Stream without changing the rest of your workflow.\n\n[Customer-verified](/stream/guides/hermes)\n\n### Hermes\n\nKeep tool calls, file operations, retries, and long agent sessions moving without metering every loop.\n\nRead the setup guide[Custom provider](/stream/guides/opencode)\n\n### OpenCode\n\nAdd Stream as an OpenAI-compatible provider and select DeepSeek V4 Flash from the model picker.\n\nRead the setup guide[Custom provider](/stream/guides/openclaw)\n\n### OpenClaw\n\nUse a custom model provider for always-on automations, coding workflows, and high-volume agent tasks.\n\nRead the setup guide[OpenAI-compatible](/stream/guides/aider)\n\n### Aider\n\nPoint Aider at the Stream base URL and run repository-scale coding sessions against a predictable bill.\n\nRead the setup guideDrop-in by design\n\n## Keep your client. Change the endpoint.\n\nThe API follows the OpenAI format, including streaming, tool calling, and structured output.\n\n``` python\nfrom openai import OpenAI # Change the base URL and key.client = OpenAI(  base_url=\"https://api.camelai.com/v1\",  api_key=\"$CAMELAI_API_KEY\") response = client.chat.completions.create(  model=\"deepseek-v4-flash\",  messages=messages,  tools=tools,  stream=True)\n```\n\nUnlimited, said clearly\n\n## No token cap. A real capacity boundary.\n\nFlat-rate inference only works when capacity is understandable. We are putting the boundary in the product instead of hiding it in fair-use language.\n\n### Unlimited tokens\n\nNo monthly token allowance and no per-token overages.\n\n### One active generation\n\nAdditional requests queue on the founding plan.\n\n### 256K context\n\nLong agent sessions without an ambiguous million-token promise.\n\n### 24/7 access\n\nNot a reserved daily time block. Generate whenever you need to.\n\nFounding plan\n\nFor developers who want a predictable DeepSeek bill and can work within one active generation at a time.\n\n[Get started](https://stream.camelai.com/login)\n\nBilled monthly.
