Migrate from DeepInfra to Railwail
01 · Key takeaways

TL;DR — Switch in Under 5 Minutes

  • DeepInfra is already OpenAI-compatible
  • Image, audio, embeddings — all supported
  • Plus closed-source Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini behind the same key

Run Whisper

OpenAI≈ $0.0034/runBilled by actual usage

OpenAI's Whisper running on Replicate. General-purpose speech recognition trained on 680k hours of multilingual audio. Transcribes and translates 99 languages, robust to accents and background noise, and outputs plain text, segments, or word-level timestamps.

Why Move Off DeepInfra?

DeepInfra is competitive on price for hosted open-source models. The trade-offs: no closed-source frontier models, and a smaller image / audio catalog than Railwail.

Why Railwail Over DeepInfra

  • Same OpenAI-compatible API
  • Adds closed-source models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini)
  • Built-in playground at railwail.com/models
  • Per-key rate limits and spend caps

FAQ

What about DeepInfra's deploy-your-own-model feature?

Custom model deployments are not supported on Railwail. Keep them on DeepInfra and use Railwail for the standard catalog.

Does the embedding API work the same?

Yes. POST /api/v1/embeddings accepts identical request shapes for OpenAI embedding models.

Are streaming responses supported?

Yes. Standard OpenAI SSE stream chunks.
