DeepInfra raises $107M Series B to scale the inference cloud — read the announcement

Databricks Dolly is instruction tuned 12 billion parameter casual language model based on EleutherAI's pythia-12b. It was pretrained on The Pile, GPT-J's pretraining corpus. databricks-dolly-15k open source instruction following dataset was used to tune the model.
To get started, you'll need an API key from DeepInfra.
You can deploy the databricks/dolly-v2-12b model easily through the web dashboard or by using our API. The model will be automatically deployed when you first run an inference request.
You can use it with our REST API. Here's how to call the model using curl:
curl -X POST \
-d '{"prompt": "Who is Elvis Presley?"}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/databricks/dolly-v2-12b'
We charge per inference request execution time, $0.0005 per second. Inference runs on Nvidia A100 cards. To see the full documentation of how to call this model, check out the model page on our website.
You can browse all available models on our models page.

Pricing 101: Token Math & Cost-Per-Completion Explained<p>LLM pricing can feel opaque until you translate it into a few simple numbers: input tokens, output tokens, and price per million. Every request you send—system prompt, chat history, RAG context, tool-call JSON—counts as input; everything the model writes back counts as output. Once you know those two counts, the cost of a completion is […]</p>
Open vs Closed Source AI Models: Intelligence, Price & Speed Compared<p>The LLM landscape in 2026 looks nothing like it did two years ago. Back then the assumption was simple: if you wanted the best model, you paid OpenAI or Anthropic, and that was that. Open source models were a respectable second tier, good for experimentation, fine-tuning, and budget workloads, but not quite there for serious […]</p>
