description: Phind was an AI answer engine and coding assistant built for developers, offering conversational, multi-step
  technical search on the web and through a VS Code extension. Founded in 2022 by Michael Royzen and Justin Wei (Y Combinator
  S22), Phind trained its own code models and briefly held the top-ranked open-source coding model on Hugging Face. The phind.com
  product was a consumer/subscription service and never shipped an official public or partner developer API - the only genuinely
  public developer artifacts were its open-weight models on Hugging Face (Phind-CodeLlama-34B v1/v2, Python-v1, and later
  Phind-70B). Community "Phind API" projects on GitHub and RapidAPI are unofficial reverse-engineered wrappers, not an official
  interface. Phind shut down on January 16, 2026; Pro subscribers received prorated refunds and could export chat history
  through January 30, 2026 before servers were wiped. This entry is a historical record; API surfaces are modeled, not officially
  documented.

  description: Conceptual (modeled) surface for Phind's AI answer engine - the developer-focused conversational search that
    powered phind.com and the VS Code extension. Phind never published an official public or partner developer API for this
    service; it was consumed only through the Phind web UI and editor extension. No official base URL, authentication, OpenAPI,
    or endpoint reference was ever documented. Any third-party "Phind API" on GitHub or RapidAPI is an unofficial reverse-engineered
    wrapper of the website's internal endpoints and is not represented here as official. This API is listed for discovery
    only and is marked endpointsModeled.

  description: Phind's genuinely public developer artifacts - open-weight models published to the Phind organization on Hugging
    Face. These include the code models Phind-CodeLlama-34B-v1, Phind-CodeLlama-34B-v2, and Phind-CodeLlama-34B-Python-v1
    (fine-tunes of Meta's Code Llama 34B, released August 2023 and briefly the top-ranked open-source coding models on HumanEval),
    plus the later Phind-70B, Phind-SVG, and Magic-Edit. These are downloadable model weights hosted on Hugging Face, not
    a hosted HTTP inference API operated by Phind; they can be self-hosted or run through third-party inference stacks. Listed
    as endpointsModeled because Phind exposed no official hosted inference endpoint for them.
