Products & Services
Web platform aggregating hundreds/1,000+ text, image, video, audio, embedding, and other AI models, with automatic model selection, chat, image/video creation, and local-first conversation history.
API at api.nano-gpt.com with OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions, Responses, image generation, audio, embeddings, reranking, model discovery, and an Anthropic-compatible Messages endpoint.
Organizational controls for unified billing, individual usage attribution, role-based access, usage limits, and model access control.
A locally running MCP server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients call NanoGPT tools using an API key.
Market Position
NanoGPT positions itself against direct model subscriptions and model-routing/API aggregators such as OpenRouter by combining broad multi-provider access with pay-per-use billing, no required subscription/account, local-first history, crypto payments, and an OpenAI-compatible API. Its differentiation is strongest for privacy-conscious, crypto-native, cost-sensitive, and developer/agent users; tradeoffs include dependence on third-party model providers and fewer conventional enterprise disclosures than larger API platforms.
Leadership
Founders
Milan de Reede
CEO and co-founder of NanoGPT; previously worked at De Nederlandsche Bank (the Dutch central bank), including as a crypto expert. He has discussed leaving banking to build a crypto-native, privacy-conscious AI access platform.
Executive Team
Milan de Reede
CEO & Co-Founder
Former De Nederlandsche Bank crypto expert; founder spokesperson on AI access, privacy, crypto payments, and data sovereignty.
Founding Story
NanoGPT began as a small Telegram bot and grew from the founders' goal of making many leading AI models available without requiring separate subscriptions, while using crypto payments to support low-friction, privacy-conscious access. Founder interviews describe Milan de Reede leaving central banking and building the service with AI-assisted coding; the initial vision was to democratize access to 100+ models and let users pay per prompt.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Usage-based AI aggregation: users top up a USD-denominated balance and pay model list prices for usage across the website and API. NanoGPT also sells an optional subscription and offers volume pricing/custom support; crypto and card deposits fund the balance.
Pricing Tiers
Top up a balance and pay only for usage; includes access to text, image, video, voice, web, and API capabilities, plus one free web-only model. Minimum deposit is $0.10 in crypto or $1 by card.
Includes open-source AI usage on web and API, 60M input tokens per week, free output on included models, 100 images per day on four image models, and a 5% discount on eligible paid text models; paid closed models, video, voice, transcription, web search, and other excluded tools remain balance-billed.
