Blackbox AI

What is Blackbox AI?

Blackbox AI is an inference platform that gives access to 300+ open and closed models through a unified endpoint, alongside coding agents. The company emphasizes end-to-end encryption and zero data retention.

Key capabilities of Blackbox AI

• Blackbox Router: A gateway to 300+ models through one endpoint
• Enterprise Inference: Dedicated single-tenant deployment with reserved capacity
• Agents API: Cloud coding agents that create runs, stream logs and open pull requests
• Command line: An agentic terminal that follows repository conventions
• Per-token pricing: No platform fees or seat charges
• Enterprise controls: SAML SSO, RBAC, audit logs and data residency

How Blackbox AI works

Developers send requests to a single endpoint and choose from hundreds of models, paying per token. The Agents API runs coding agents in the cloud, streams their logs and opens pull requests, while the command line tool runs an agent in the terminal against a repository. Enterprise customers get single-tenant deployments with reserved capacity and a forward-deployed engineer.

Who uses Blackbox AI?

Developers and engineering teams who want model choice behind one API, and enterprises needing dedicated capacity, SSO and data residency. The product also has a coding assistant lineage used inside editors such as VS Code.

Blackbox AI pricing

Blackbox publishes per-token rates that vary by model, for example $0.30 input and $1.20 output per 1M tokens for one listed model, with no platform or seat fees. Committed annual spend unlocks discounts of 5 percent on closed models and 10 percent on open models. Enterprise is custom priced.

Blackbox AI alternatives

Alternatives include OpenRouter for a multi-model gateway, GitHub Copilot for editor-based coding help, and Cursor for an AI-first code editor.
