Sail

Sail Research provides cloud infrastructure for running long-horizon AI agents efficiently. Its inference platform serves leading open-source models (GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, gpt-oss, Gemma, and more) through an OpenAI-compatible Responses and Chat Completions API plus an Anthropic-compatible Messages API, so existing SDKs work as drop-in clients. "Completion windows" (asap, priority, standard, flex) trade latency for 30-80% token savings, and a Batch API processes up to 100,000 requests asynchronously. Sailboxes add persistent virtual-machine compute for agents that need to run indefinitely, with checkpoint/resume, networking, and a native CLI. The platform supports LoRA fine-tunes, Tinker RL rollouts, prompt caching, completion webhooks, and usage/observability (Voyages) for background agents.

Sail publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Batches API API, Chat Completions API API, Messages API API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Company, AI, Machine Learning, LLM, and Inference.

The Sail catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Sail’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.
