Start Building
Our API platform is currently under development and is scheduled to launch in May 2024.
Our official developer docs will be published in the coming weeks, for now we would like to offer you a quick introduction on what you can expect from us. This intro explains the core functionalities of Planck, highlighting its commitment to transparency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for developers and startups venturing into the realm of AI.
A World of Open-Source AI Models at Your Fingertips
In its nascent phase, Planck presents a paradigm shift for developers by offering access to a comprehensive suite of open-source AI model APIs. These APIs, meticulously curated and readily available via a user-friendly platform, function as pre-built toolboxes brimming with cutting-edge AI functionalities, waiting to be seamlessly integrated into your applications. Imagine a vast library of AI capabilities, each addressing a specific task – from effortlessly completing textual fragments to intelligently refining existing content – all readily available for developers to leverage and integrate into their creations.
Core Functionalities
Open-Source AI Models: Planck fosters a culture of transparency and community involvement by providing access to the power of leading open-source AI models. Unlike proprietary solutions that lock you into a specific vendor's ecosystem, Planck grants developers the freedom to utilize these openly developed models, fostering trust and collaboration within the AI development community.
API Toolbox – Selecting the Perfect Tool: Gone are the days of cumbersome, one-size-fits-all solutions. Planck empowers developers with the flexibility to choose the most appropriate API for their specific needs. Whether you require AI assistance for creative writing, code generation, or data analysis, the Planck API toolbox offers a curated selection of specialized tools to ensure optimal results for your project.
Pay-as-you-go – Predictable Costs, Unmatched Flexibility: Planck eliminates the constraints of rigid subscription models and upfront costs. Developers only pay for the resources they consume, based on the number of "tokens" (essentially, words) generated by their specific request. Imagine fueling your AI engine with precise word units, similar to topping off a car with gas. This innovative pay-as-you-go structure fosters predictable costs that seamlessly align with the resource requirements of your project.
Granular Control – Unprecedented Flexibility: Planck empowers developers with unparalleled control over their AI interactions. Every request submitted functions as a transaction within the Planck Network. Developers have the ability to set specific parameters, including the desired number of words, which directly influences the "gas fee" – the amount paid to execute the request. This granular control enables developers to meticulously manage resource utilization and optimize costs for maximum efficiency.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Planck Developer Portal
The Planck Developer Portal, nearing completion, is designed to streamline your journey into the world of AI development. This guide walks you through the process, from creating an account to harnessing the power of our pre-trained models.
Step 1: Sign Up and Welcome!
Head over to the Planck Developer Portal and create your account. This quick and easy process grants you access to a dedicated Planck wallet, eliminating the need for separate account management. Your Planck wallet seamlessly integrates with the platform, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
Step 2: Explore the AI Model Landscape
Dive into the curated selection of AI models available through the portal. Our focus on open-source models fosters transparency and empowers you to choose the ideal tool for your specific needs. Whether you require AI assistance for creative writing, code generation, data analysis, or another task entirely, our user-friendly interface makes navigating the available models effortless.
Step 3: Generate Your API Key – Unlock the Power of AI
Once you've identified the most suitable AI model for your project, generating your API key is just a click away. The portal guides you through this simple process, equipping you with the essential key to unlock the model's functionalities.
Step 4: Build and Innovate with Pre-Trained Models
Gone are the days when young startups needed dedicated ML engineers to prepare complex models. With the Planck Developer Portal, you gain immediate access to ready-to-go models, eliminating the initial setup hurdles. This allows you to focus your valuable resources on building innovative applications, leveraging the power of AI from the get-go.
Step 5: Pay-as-You-Go – Efficiency at its Finest
The beauty of the Planck model lies in its flexible and cost-effective approach. You only incur costs when your application makes API requests, essentially requesting processing power from the network. PLN tokens are automatically withdrawn from the Planck wallet associated with your account, ensuring a transparent and efficient payment structure that scales perfectly with your application's usage.
The Planck Developer Portal – Your Gateway to AI Innovation
The Planck Developer Portal empowers a new generation of developers and startups. By eliminating the need for upfront investments in model preparation and offering a pay-as-you-go structure, Planck fosters a more accessible and cost-effective AI development environment. This streamlined experience, coupled with our commitment to open-source models, fosters a vibrant community of innovation where creativity and cutting-edge AI capabilities collide.
A Glimpse Into the Future for AI Startups, Developers and Enterprises
AI Model API Libraries (In Development): The foundation for this transformative platform is firmly established with the imminent release of APIs for Gemma and Mistral 7B the first open-source models supported by Planck. These APIs will be readily available on our developer portal, empowering developers to harness the capabilities of these leading models.
Expanding the AI Arsenal (Coming Soon): The future roadmap for Planck is nothing short of exhilarating. Integration of additional popular open-source models like, Mixtral 8X7B, BLOOM, and Llama2 is well underway, further enriching the AI toolkit available to developers.
Effortless PLN Restocking (Coming This Summer): Before the summer arrives, we'll integrate an in-house swap function directly within the Developer Portal. This eliminates the need to navigate external platforms for PLN top-ups. You'll be able to effortlessly restock your Planck wallet with PLN tokens, keeping your development workflow uninterrupted.
Custom models (Coming End-2024): The latter part of 2024 promises to be a pivotal period for Planck as we expand our functionalities to cater to enterprises, startups, and developers seeking to host custom models on the Planck Network. Additionally, a robust suite of MLOps features is on the horizon, further solidifying Planck's position as a comprehensive AI development platform.
Flexible Payment Options (Coming Mid-2025): Looking ahead to next year, we're committed to expanding your payment options. We'll launch an in-house on-off ramp that allows you to pay using stablecoins like USDT or USDC. Internally, PLN will be automatically purchased with these stablecoins to seamlessly compensate miners. Following the successful launch of this feature, we'll set our sights on developing a licensed fiat on-ramp solution, enabling direct payments from your bank account, further simplifying the payment process.
