The service guarantees a minimum 99.9% uptime SLA, zero data retention for prompts and outputs, and 100% US hosting with server‑side web search. It operates on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis with no platform fee, and each model has a published per‑token price.\n\nThe model lineup includes Kimi K3 (2.8 T parameters, $2.85 input / $14.25 output per 1M tokens), Qwen3.8 Max (2.4 T MoE, $1.85 / $5.55), GLM‑5.3 ($1.35 / $4.25), DeepSeek V4.1 Flash ($0.30 / $1.20), Mercury 3 ($0.10 / $0.35) and GPT‑OSS 120B ($0.097 / $0.73). Requests first hit You.com’s own Inference Direct and fail over to vetted US‑hosted partners such as Parasail, Wafer, Alibaba Cloud, Meta and Inception. Benchmarks reported by You.com claim cost advantages over frontier models, with GLM‑5.3 plus search scoring 86.53% at $0.0485 per question.","keyPoints":["Inference Router offers 12 open-weight models via a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with 99.9% uptime SLA.","Prices are per‑million‑token, e.g., Kimi K3 costs $2.85 input / $14.25 output, Qwen3.8 Max $1.85 / $5.55.","Zero data retention policy stores only metadata; requests first hit You.com Inference Direct then fail over to US‑hosted partners."],"whyItMatters":"Provides developers a single, reliable API for many open‑weight models with US‑hosting, zero data retention, and transparent per‑token pricing, lowering operational overhead and compliance risk.","category":{"slug":"agents","name":"Agents & Tools","url":"https://digestai.news/category/agents"},"entities":{"companies":["You.com","Parasail","Wafer","Alibaba Cloud","Meta","Inception"],"models":["Kimi K3","Qwen3.8 Max","GLM-5.3","DeepSeek V4.1 Flash","Mercury 3","GPT-OSS 120B"],"people":["Asif Razzaq"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-23T05:28:21Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-23T05:28:21Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"MarkTechPost","title":"You.com Launches Inference Router: 12 Open-Weight Models With 99.9% Uptime SLA","url":"https://marktechpost.com/2026/10/22/you-com-inference-router-open-weight-models-uptime-sla","publishedAt":"2026-10-23T05:28:21Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"You.com launches Inference Router with 12 open-weight models and 99.9% uptime SLA\", 23 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/you-com-launches-inference-router-with-12-open-weight-models-and-99-9","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"You.com launches Inference Router with 12 open-weight models and 99.9% uptime SLA","datePublished":"2026-10-23T05:28:21Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/you-com-launches-inference-router-with-12-open-weight-models-and-99-9"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
