How Hicap Works

From integration to production in minutes. Here's how Hicap delivers faster, cheaper AI inference for your applications.

STEP 01

Connect Your Application

Integrate Hicap into your application using our OpenAI-compatible API. Keep your existing code and SDK—just point to our endpoint.

  • Drop-in replacement for OpenAI SDK
  • Works with Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI models
  • 5-minute integration with existing codebases
Code Example
import OpenAI from "openai";

const openai = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.hicap.ai/v1",
  defaultHeaders: {
    "api-key": process.env.HICAP_API_KEY
  }
});

const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }]
});
STEP 02

We Route to Reserved GPUs

Your requests are intelligently routed to our reserved GPU capacity across multiple providers for optimal performance and cost.

  • Reserved capacity eliminates noisy neighbor issues
  • Automatic load balancing across providers
