FriendliAI offers up to $50,000 in inference credits for teams currently using OpenAI, Anthropic, or other open models like GLM-5 and Qwen. The platform claims to provide better performance and lower costs, boasting a 20–40% reduction in inference expenses. Switching is designed to be straightforward, requiring minimal changes—often as simple as three lines of code—making it appealing for teams already running inference at scale. FriendliAI emphasizes its superior throughput and lower latency compared to both OpenAI and vLLM-based systems. The platform supports various models, including Qwen and DeepSeek, providing reliable APIs that ensure consistent outputs. Benchmark tests show that FriendliAI performs particularly well with large-scale models like Qwen3 235B, especially in scenarios requiring long outputs. To take advantage of the credits, teams need to submit their contact details, company information, and a recent bill from their current inference provider. The credit amount is subject to review, and no migration is necessary before approval. This offer is time-sensitive, pushing those interested to act quickly if they want to switch to FriendliAI and start saving on inference costs.
