What is You.com?
You.com is an AI infrastructure platform offering web search and inference APIs for developers and enterprises building AI applications.

Features include zero data retention, US-hosted models, per-model cost visibility and usage controls. It suits teams running production AI workloads that need accurate, low-latency responses. Access is sold through API keys and paid plans, with a free API key available to start.
