OpenRelay is a Y Combinator-backed distributed GPU cloud for production AI inference — "the CDN of inference." It runs a global mesh of GPUs (RTX 4090/5090, A100, H100) that teams reach through a single API: rent dedicated GPU VMs with SSH and persistent volumes, stand up autoscaling inference clusters behind an endpoint, or call hosted open models via an OpenAI-compatible (and Anthropic Messages-compatible) API. Anyone can also join as a provider and earn on idle compute. The control-plane REST API (api.openrelay.inc) manages orgs, VMs, clusters, snapshots, billing, usage, transfers, provider nodes, batches, files, and webhooks, and is fully driveable from the first-party `orl` CLI — which also ships an official MCP server for agents. Traffic reroutes across healthy nodes in milliseconds, with pricing OpenRelay claims is up to 90% cheaper than the hyperscalers.
