Terms of Service

1. SERVICES

Featherless is an LLM inference platform, providing API at api.featherless.ai. Featherless abstracts the technical challenges in provisioning and configuring the computing hardware and software needed to run inference on a class of neural networks, providing users the ability to easily operate and generate text with any of the set of supported models. The list of models that appears at https://featherless.ai is the list of all public models that are compatible with and can be run on the platform.

Featherless is in beta; we may change or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, including the set of supported network architectures, which may result in the de-listing of models that were previously operable on the platform.
