Getting Started with Radient

Welcome to Radient! We're excited to help you simplify your access to the world's leading AI models and tools. This guide will walk you through the basics of Radient, including Radient Automatic and Radient Pass, and how to start using them.

#What is Radient?

Radient is a platform designed to provide simple, equitable, and affordable access to a vast array of artificial intelligence capabilities. We offer tools like Radient Automatic for intelligent model routing and Radient Pass for a unified, pay-as-you-go billing system. Our goal is to empower developers, creators, and innovators by removing the complexities of accessing and managing multiple AI services.

#Understanding Radient's Core Offerings

#Radient Pass: Your Universal AI Key

Radient Pass is your single gateway to a multitude of AI models and tools. Instead of juggling multiple API keys and subscriptions, Radient Pass allows you to access services from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more, all through one Radient account and a single pay-as-you-go balance.

Key Features of Radient Pass:

  • Unified Access: One key and one balance for numerous AI services.
  • Pay-As-You-Go: Only pay for what you use. Credits are deducted 1:1 with USD.
  • No Subscription Needed: Radient Pass is pay-as-you-go, with no monthly fees or commitments. The Team plan is a monthly subscription, and it is optional.
  • Transparent Billing: Clear tracking of your usage and spending.
  • Credits Never Expire: Your purchased credits remain available until used.

#Radient Automatic: Smart Model Routing

Radient Automatic is an intelligent system that works behind the scenes to optimize your AI usage. When you make a request, Radient Automatic serves it with a current, high-performing default model, and the default is updated over time as better options appear.

Benefits of Radient Automatic:

  • Cost Savings: Served by a current, high-performing default model and deducted at 1:1 with the provider's own rate.
  • Performance Optimization: Requests that carry inputs the default cannot read (video, audio, or files) are routed to a model that accepts every modality.
  • Effortless Operation: Works automatically without requiring manual model selection.
