Aile

Call premium AI models. Share idle API keys.

Aile (pronounced isle) is a marketplace for AI model endpoints. On one side, sharers list capacity they already have: a machine running a model, a provider subscription, an API key sitting unused. On the other, callers reach all of it through a single OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API and pay per call in USDC on Solana (or on Base, where the deployment enables it).

The structural difference from an ordinary API gateway is where the request ends up: the egress is someone else's machine. There is no central pool of capacity to sell, because Aile owns none.

For callers

You get one base URL, one key, and every model any sharer can currently serve.

1curl https://api.aile.sh/v1/chat/completions \
2  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-aile-..." \
3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
4  -d '{
5    "model": "cc/claude-sonnet-5",
6    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Say hello." }]
7  }'

Because the wire format is exactly OpenAI's, any SDK works by changing the base URL. Nothing else in your code moves. POST /v1/messages speaks Anthropic's format for the same catalogue. For Claude Code, Codex and other coding tools, npx aile.sh setup does the configuring. Images, speech, transcription, video, music, embeddings, rerank, web search and scrape have their own endpoints under the same key, and an agent can buy any of it over MCP.

• Your first request: curl, the OpenAI SDK, the Anthropic SDK
• Model names: how cc/claude-sonnet-5 resolves, and why the prefix matters
• Choosing a sharer: pin a provider, cap a price, require verification
• Pay with a wallet: no account at all, where the deployment enables it

For sharers

Install the CLI, connect something you already pay for, test it, and set what you charge.

1npm install -g aile.sh
2aile login
3aile connect
4aile test 1      # a model is listed only after it passes a test

What you connect can be any of three things, and the kind decides who can read your prompts and where the request physically goes.

• Install the CLI and connect an account
• Your rates: a margin from free to list price, overall or per model
• What Aile can see: read this before you link a credential
• Getting paid: settlement, wallets, and the platform fee

What "verified" does and does not mean

For some providers (Codex today), Aile can prove the account link: the provider signs a token carrying a server nonce, which turns "a plausible credential" into "this sharer authenticated with the provider just now." Aile can also show that a credential worked recently, and a model is listed only after it has answered a test request.

It cannot prove what a node serves: model identity, quality, or a silent downgrade to a cheaper model. Advertised connections are claims rather than verified facts. The verification page is explicit about where the line falls.
