FAQ

Common questions

What is QuickSilver Pro?

An OpenAI-compatible HTTP API for the top open-source LLMs — DeepSeek V3, DeepSeek R1, and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B. Point the official OpenAI SDK at our base URL and get the same chat-completions interface, 20% below competing resellers.

How much cheaper than OpenRouter / OpenAI?

20% below the public per-token rates at OpenRouter, Together AI, Fireworks AI, and DeepInfra on the same open-source models. DeepSeek V3: $0.24 / $0.70. DeepSeek R1: $0.40 / $1.70. Qwen3.5-35B-A3B: $0.13 / $1.00. We don't serve closed models (GPT-4, Claude).

Is it really a drop-in OpenAI replacement?

Yes. Change base_url to https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1 in the official openai Python / Node / Swift SDKs. Streaming, tool calling, json_schema strict mode, and usage.cost accounting all work out of the box.

Is there a free tier?

New accounts get $1 in free credits on registration — enough for ~500-700 real DeepSeek V3 calls to evaluate the service. After that it's pay-as-you-go starting at $5, no subscription.
