Powerful open source AI, accessible to every person and business.

BasedAI is the commercialization layer for open source AI — the Red Hat of large language models. We package, harden, and support open-weight models like Mistral, GLM, Llama, DeepSeek, and Qwen so any person or business can deploy production-grade AI without managing GPUs, fine-tuning pipelines, or inference infrastructure. BasedAI is the parent company behind two products: Hirebase and Based APIs.

BasedAI serves two audiences through two products. Solopreneurs, founders, and small teams use Hirebase to hire AI teammates that run real work end-to-end. Developers, scale-ups, and enterprises use Based APIs to access open-weight LLMs through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with enterprise-grade reliability, data sovereignty, and lower per-token costs.

Two. Hirebase is an AI workforce platform that ships fully-onboarded AI employees for sales, support, operations, and finance — you name a goal, Hirebase hires the team and runs your playbook. Based APIs is an enterprise inference layer for the leading open-weight LLMs, with drop-in OpenAI compatibility so teams can swap endpoints without rewriting integrations.

Hirebase is live in Beta at hirebase.co and onboarding customers now. Based APIs is releasing soon and currently accepting early-access requests — sign up via the form on this page, or email api@basedai.co with a short description of what you're building, and we'll prioritize your access.

Based APIs routes the leading open-weight LLMs through a single endpoint at up to 50% lower cost than equivalent closed-model APIs at comparable quality. Unlike OpenAI or Anthropic, open weights give you full data sovereignty — prompts and outputs stay with you and never feed a training run. Unlike Bedrock, Based APIs is OpenAI-compatible out of the box, so most teams migrate in under an hour.

Open-weight models are large language models whose parameters are publicly released — Mistral, GLM, Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and similar — letting you run, fine-tune, and self-host them without vendor lock-in. They typically cost 40–60% less to run than closed-model APIs, keep your data private, and let you customize behavior in ways closed providers don't allow.

No. Prompts and outputs stay with the customer. BasedAI never uses your data to train models, share it with third parties, or build a competitor moat on top of it. Open-weight models with private deployment give you full data sovereignty, and our infrastructure is built to meet the requirements of teams with strict privacy and security needs.

Hirebase uses a transparent, fair pricing model — no per-seat lock-in or surprise overage fees. Based APIs is priced per million tokens, typically below closed-model equivalents at comparable quality, with reserved-capacity options for enterprise customers.
