For third-party AI client users

Your client got blocked.
Your AI doesn't have to stop.

Centralized AI providers are cutting off third-party clients. Teale gives you OpenAI-compatible inference through a decentralized network — no corporation decides when you lose access. Switch in 30 seconds.

Switch in 30 seconds Why Teale is different

What happened — and what you can do

Centralized AI providers can revoke your access at any time. Decentralized inference can't be shut off.

The old way

Centralized subscriptions

  • $20/month for rate-limited access
  • Provider decides which clients are allowed
  • Your tools break overnight with no warning
  • No API access without a separate paid plan
  • Your usage data trains their next model
With Teale

Decentralized inference

  • Run models locally for free, or use the network
  • Use any client — it's OpenAI-compatible
  • No one can revoke your access
  • $1 buys 20 million tokens on the network
  • E2E encrypted — no one sees your prompts

Switch your harness to Teale

Teale's API is OpenAI-compatible. Point your existing client at localhost and you're done.

Using Teale with the OpenAI SDK
1. Install Teale
$ curl -fsSL https://teale.com/install.sh | sh
2. Two lines of code
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
  base_url="http://localhost:11434/v1",
  api_key="teale"
)

# Use exactly like you used the OpenAI or Anthropic SDK
response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="llama-3.1-8b",
  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
Using Teale with Continue.dev
1. Install Teale
$ curl -fsSL https://teale.com/install.sh | sh
2. Edit ~/.continue/config.json
{
  "models": [{
    "title": "Teale Local",
    "provider": "openai",
    "model": "llama-3.1-8b",
    "apiBase": "http://localhost:11434/v1",
    "apiKey": "teale"
  }]
}
3. Code with AI in your editor
# Continue's autocomplete, chat, and edit all work.
# No API key costs. No rate limits. Runs on your Mac.
Ready. Continue.dev connected to Teale.
Using Teale with any OpenAI-compatible client
1. Install Teale
$ curl -fsSL https://teale.com/install.sh | sh
2. Point any client at Teale
# Teale exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at:
http://localhost:11434/v1

# Supports:
# POST /v1/chat/completions (streaming + non-streaming)
# GET /v1/models

# Any app that lets you set a custom base URL works:
# Chatbox, TypingMind, BoltAI, Msty, LibreChat,
# LangChain, LlamaIndex, or plain curl.
3. Verify with curl
$ curl http://localhost:11434/v1/models
{"data": [{"id": "llama-3.1-8b", ...}, {"id": "gemma-2-2b", ...}]}

Why this won't happen again with Teale

Teale is a decentralized network. There's no single company that can cut you off.

🔓

No gatekeepers

Models run on your hardware or on the peer network. No corporation decides which clients are "allowed." Use any tool you want.

💰

100x cheaper

Free locally. $0.05 per million tokens on the network. That's $1 for 20 million tokens — what costs $20+ on centralized APIs.

🔒

E2E encrypted

All network traffic uses Noise protocol encryption. No one — not even relay operators — can read your prompts or completions.

🌐

Open source

The entire stack is open source. Audit the code, fork it, self-host it. github.com/teale-ai

💻

Earn while idle

Share your Mac's compute when you're not using it and earn money. The network pays contributors, not shareholders.

⚡

OpenAI-compatible

Drop-in replacement for any app built on the OpenAI API. Change the base URL, keep everything else.

What you were paying vs. what you'll pay

What you need Centralized Teale Savings
Chat with AI (casual use) $20/mo subscription $0 (local) Free
1M tokens via API $3 – $15 $0.05 60–300x
Coding assistant (Continue, etc.) $20/mo + rate limits $0 (local) Free
Agent workflows (100M tokens/mo) $300 – $1,500 $5 60–300x

Don't wait for the next shutdown

Centralized AI will keep tightening control. Own your inference. Join a network where users are participants, not products.
