Ambient
Our take
Ambient is a small inference host with a narrow catalogue of four tracked offers. It stands out for competitive pricing on DeepSeek V4 Flash and modest throughput figures across its range.
Use this for budget-conscious inference on DeepSeek V4 Flash, where it undercuts its own other offers sharply. Pick it when throughput needs are modest — 52 to 89 tokens per second across all options. Skip it if you need a deep catalogue, verified compliance credentials, or consistent pricing logic across identical models.
- Lowest price for DeepSeek V4 Flash among its own tracked offers — several times cheaper on both input and output than its next cheapest offer.
- Does not train on prompts: privacy policy confirms this.
- Very limited catalogue depth: only four tracked offers versus broader catalogues elsewhere.
- Compliance and geographic documentation largely absent: headquarters, EU endpoint, SOC 2 and zero-retention option are all unverified in our data.
- Throughput figures are modest, and pricing for identical models is inconsistent — two Kimi K2.7 Code variants with nearly identical prices but sharply different throughput.

We have not recorded what a router needs for Ambient yet — no base URL and no docs link on file. That is our gap, not a sign Ambient has no API; its own documentation is the place to look until we close it.
Privacy & data handling
These answers cover requests sent to Ambient through OpenRouter, as OpenRouter records them, last read 9 days ago. For Ambient's own API we hold no answer: check its terms. SOC 2 and the data processing agreement below are hand-checked, not part of that sync.
