camelAI

Last updated 2026-08-15 · benchmark measured 2026-11-01 — deterministic & reproducible

camelAI offers a flat-rate DeepSeek API for high-volume coding agent workloads.

camelAI at a glance

camelAI's camelStream is a flat-rate API that gives developers unlimited access to DeepSeek (and other models) for building coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes, though it is no longer accepting new subscribers.

Good for

  • Running request-heavy coding agents like Hermes or OpenClaw without metering every tool call or retry
  • Offering AI features in a free tier without attaching an open-ended per-token cost
  • Adding a backup inference route for outages or degraded service on a primary provider

Pricing

camelStream (legacy, closed to new users): $5/mo flat per stream. Platform: camelRun $0.01/agent-hour; camelCode free to $10+/mo; camelBot free (beta).

Questions people ask

Can I still sign up for the unlimited DeepSeek API?
No. camelStream is shutting down, new subscriptions are closed, and existing subscriptions end with their current billing period.

Is the DeepSeek API really unlimited?
Yes, there is no token cap or per-token overage charge; extra requests queue instead of increasing your bill.

Do I still get DeepSeek through camelStream?
Yes, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is included in the fleet of models at its most recent publicly available version.

Does camelStream work with the OpenAI SDK?
Yes, it uses an OpenAI-compatible chat completions format with streaming and tool calling, plus an Anthropic Messages-compatible endpoint.

Which coding agents work with camelStream?
Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Aider can connect if they accept a custom OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint.
