Parasail

Parasail is an AI Supercloud — a pay-per-token GPU inference platform aimed at AI startups and developers. Parasail orchestrates rented GPU capacity across 40+ data centers in 15+ countries to serve open-weight LLMs, vision/multimodal models, embedding models, and TTS/STT models on a serverless, dedicated, or batch basis. The platform exposes OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoints for chat completions, completions, embeddings, batch, and models, plus a control-plane /api/v1 for managing dedicated GPU deployments of any Hugging Face or custom model. Parasail serves 500B+ tokens per day and is positioned as up to 30x cheaper than legacy cloud providers, with no quotas, no rate-limit penalties, and no long-term contracts. Co-founded by Mike Henry (ex-Mythic) and Tim Harris (ex-Swift Navigation); raised a $32M Series A in April 2026 (Touring Capital and Kindred Ventures) bringing total funding to $42M.

Parasail publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Batch API, Chat API, Completions API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include AI, Artificial Intelligence, GPU, Inference, and Large Language Models.

The Parasail catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Parasail’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, code examples, and 19 more developer resources.
