Frequently Asked Questions

AltLLM is a tiered, crypto-specialized AI infrastructure with a proprietary Knowledge Layer. It provides crypto-specific insights through MCP tools and offers access to multiple AI models through a single OpenAI-compatible API.

1. Sign up at the AltLLM Portal using Google OAuth. 2. Add credits to your account via Stripe. 3. Create an API key from the API Keys page. 4. Use the API key with our OpenAI-compatible endpoint at https://api.altllm.ai/v1

AltLLM currently offers 3 model tiers: altllm-standard (balanced daily use), altllm-basic (high reasoning), and altllm-mega (ultimate quality). All models include automatic access to crypto intelligence tools.

AltLLM offers subscription tiers (Free, Basic, Pro, Power) with monthly credits included. Usage is deducted from your credit balance based on the model tier you use, priced per 1M tokens. You can also top up additional credits anytime from the Billing page.

Basic (default): $5.00/$30.00 per 1M tokens. Standard: $2.00/$6.40 per 1M tokens. Mega: $15.00/$75.00 per 1M tokens.

Credits included with paid subscription plans renew each billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over to the next cycle. Top-up credits remain available until used.

Unused credits can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase. Contact support for refund requests.

Yes! You can enable auto-recharge in the Billing section to automatically top up your balance when it falls below a threshold.

POST /v1/chat/completions - Chat completions (streaming and non-streaming). GET /v1/models - List available models. GET /health - Health check endpoint.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools are automatically injected into every request. When you ask about crypto prices, tokenomics, or other crypto-related queries, the AI can use tools like get_token_price, get_project_alpha, or web_search without any configuration on your part.

Default rate limits are 60 requests per minute and 100,000 tokens per minute. Higher limits are available for enterprise customers.

Yes! Set stream: true in your request to receive Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time token streaming.

AltLLM includes 99+ MCP tools across 3 servers, including: get_token_price (live prices via CoinGecko), get_project_alpha (investment thesis), get_tokenomics (token distribution), get_team_info (team profiles), web_search (real-time news), calculate_impermanent_loss (DeFi calculator), and get_gas_price (multi-chain gas).

The database includes 103 crypto projects across 8 categories: Layer 1, Layer 2, DeFi, Gaming, Infrastructure, Privacy, Meme, and Stablecoins.

Yes! Token prices are fetched from CoinGecko with a 60-second cache for performance. The AI will display the price along with 24-hour change percentage.
