DormHost AI
AI for your project, paid in rupees.
Pay for AI in rupees from the balance you already have. No card, no minimum, and it works with any OpenAI SDK. It is the same balance that runs your app, drawn down per request, and it works from anywhere: your laptop, a college lab machine, or an app we host.
Rupees, not dollars
Most AI APIs want an international card and a $10 minimum. Here it comes out of the same balance that runs your app. A short chat on the cheapest model costs well under a rupee, and an image is a few rupees.
A curated catalog
Cheap and fast, mid-tier, frontier, coders and image models. The full list with live prices is below.
Zero config in your app
Apps hosted on DormHost get OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY set automatically, so AI works from inside your app with zero configuration. Set either variable yourself, to use OpenAI directly for example, and your value wins.
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://ai.dormhost.dev/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=dh_ai_... # from your dashboard, or already set in your app
curl $OPENAI_BASE_URL/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{"model":"openai/gpt-5.6-luna","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}'
Any OpenAI SDK works unchanged: Python, Node, whatever your project
already uses. Point it at https://ai.dormhost.dev/v1 and go.
Models and prices, live
Every price below is fetched as you read this: it follows the provider's list price at our daily exchange rate, so what you see is what the next request costs.
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| Loading live prices… | |
Live prices are on your dashboard.
Priced at today's exchange rate.
Billed per request from the provider's reported cost at our daily exchange rate. Prices can change daily and without notice, whenever provider list prices or the exchange rate move. Trial credit does not cover AI; it needs paid balance.
How billing works
- Prepaid only. A request is refused, never overdrawn: your balance can not go negative through AI use.
- Each request is billed from the provider's reported cost for that exact request, converted at our daily rate. Small charges accumulate and appear as one line a day in your wallet history.
- A request that fails costs nothing.
- Free trial credit does not cover AI. A paid top-up is required.
Getting a key
Sign in to the dashboard's AI page
to create and manage keys. Apps hosted on DormHost already carry a
key in their environment; set OPENAI_BASE_URL or
OPENAI_API_KEY yourself and your value wins, so using another
provider directly always stays possible.
The fine print
Use of the endpoint is governed by the AI terms alongside the terms and conditions: acceptable use, liability, and what we store (metadata only, never your prompts or outputs).
