Moshi API -
next generation conversational
AI API

Frequently asked questions

What is Moshi?

Moshi is the conversational AI from the French Kyutai team, which is claimed to be the most advanced competitor to GPT-4o from OpenAI.
This cutting-edge, real-time, multimodal AI model provides the possibility of natural conversational interaction between the model and users, freeing the latter from the traditional hand-dominated interactions, allowing for simultaneous speaking and listening, resulting in a much more natural and engaging experience for the end users.
According to Moshi itself, the Kyutai Team is a non-profit, independent research organization funded by companies like iliad Group, CMA CGM and the Schmidt Sciences to advance the open research on multimodal AI.

What is PiPAI's Moshi API?

Given the open nature of the Moshi Model, and that Kyutai mentioned in the Moshi press release that "the code and weights of the models will soon be freely shared", we here at PiAPI will be hosting the model for inferencing and provide the APIs for developers around world to integrate this powerful conversational AI into their own platform and applications.
Given PiAPI's mission statement to be the one-stop-shop for all generative AI APIs, our existing wide network of user base, and our expertise in model hosting and inferencing, PiAPI is uniquely positioned to provide the Moshi API along with other generative AI APIs for developers like you!

Who are the intended users for the API?

The direct users for this API will be the developers who are looking to bring Moshi's conversational capability to their user.
The indirect users for this API would be the end users who are using the applications with Moshi integrated - Moshi API will enable them to move away from hand-based interactions with AI to a more natural and engaging experience.

When will the Moshi API be released?

As soon as the Kyutai Team released the weights of the model, the PiAPI team will start deploying the models on our server clusters and provide the API service for developers. We will also elastically scale our inference capacity as the number of developers and number of requests per developers would most likely increase over time!

How will this API be priced?

We currently do not have the pricing information ready for this API, but based on our previous experience with other generative AI APIs that we provide on our platform, we are most likely going to adopt a usage-based pricing system where users would top up credit as per in the Pay-as-you-go option, and be charged according to the input token and output token amount for every API call.

How to get started with integrating the API?

After you sign up for PiAPI's workspace using your GitHub account, you can get your own API KEY from our workspace, and then you can start making HTTPs calls to the API right away!

What is the response time of the API?

PiAPI will optimize our server cluster inference capabilities for the optimal speed and reduced latency. The actual response time will vary depending on several factors including the workload at the time of the API call, the length of the input tokens, the priority in queue, etc.

Is there a limit to the total number of requests or concurrent number of requests I can make?

Currently, all "Pay-as-you-go" users subscribed to free plan, creator plan, or pro plan will all have different number of concurrent jobs for other APIs. Therefore, it would make sense to assume rights and permissions will differ as per subscription plan for the Moshi API as well!

How does the API handle errors?

Our documentation keeps track of a detailed list of errors that the currently-available APIs might return, and we will update the documentation for Moshi API as well!

Is there customer support service for Moshi API users?

Yes, we provide customer support services for all our users for all APIs, including detailed documentation, Discord customer service channel, and email for any collaboration or other inquiries.

How do I pay for this API?

Our Workspace has integrated Stripe in our payment system, which will allow payments to be made from most major credit card providers.

Are there refunds?

No, we do not offer refunds. But when you first sign up for an account on PiAPI Workspace, you are given free credits to try our Moshi API (specifically the "Pay-as-you-go" service) before making payments!
