About Cerver
Cerver provides a single API and dashboard for running AI sessions, managing provider keys, compute resources, and cost tracking. It supports local and cloud execution, allowing sessions to run on a user’s own machine or fall back to cloud providers when needed. The platform integrates with multiple model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, GLM, and xAI, enabling model switching without losing session history. Routing policies automatically direct tasks to the most cost-effective models, reducing expenses by routing simpler tasks to cheaper models while reserving frontier models for complex work. Costs are tracked per run, user, and product, with hard caps preventing runaway spending. Sessions maintain an audit trail, and API keys remain securely stored in the user’s vault, never exposed to clients.

Frequently asked questions about Cerver
What is Cerver?
Cerver is infrastructure for AI sessions, providing a unified API and dashboard to manage provider keys, compute resources, and cost tracking for AI products built by developers.
Do I need a credit card or prepaid credits to use Cerver?
No credit card or prepaid credits are required. Users bring their own provider keys (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI) and pay their model bills directly to the provider.
Where do my API keys live in Cerver?
API keys are stored in the user's vault—either in Infisical, Doppler, or Cerver's encrypted vault—never exposed to clients or leaving the vault in plaintext.
Which AI models can I use with Cerver?
Cerver supports models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, GLM, and xAI, allowing users to switch models within a session without losing history.
Where does the AI work actually run in Cerver?
Work runs hosted by default, but sessions can attach sandboxes (Vercel, E2B, Modal, Cloudflare) or use the user's own machine via a relay, maintaining the same session boundary.
Is the demo dashboard in Cerver real?
Yes, the demo dashboard displays real data from sample products, and users can replicate this by signing up, verifying their email, and adding their own keys.
