Chutes is a decentralized serverless inference marketplace running on Bittensor subnet 64, offering an OpenAI-compatible endpoint that serves a mix of frontier and open-weight models and distributes through OpenRouter as one of several access routes. The project claims hardware-attested TEE execution and end-to-end encryption so prompts stay invisible to the GPU operators serving them. Its API surface is well-documented and publicly listed, which is why the OpenAI-compatibility and endpoint fields here sit at `corroborated` rather than the default `unverified` — the claim is backed by public documentation and an OpenRouter listing, but has not yet been confirmed by our own direct probe. Volume, revenue, and the TEE attestation itself remain `claimed`: none of them are independently checkable from public information alone.

API

Field	Value	Grade	Note
OpenAI-compatible	true	Corroborated	Documented publicly and listed as an OpenRouter provider; not yet confirmed by our own direct probe, so held at corroborated rather than verified.
Endpoint	https://llm.chutes.ai/v1	Corroborated	Endpoint URL as published in provider docs / roster sweep; not yet probed.
Status	live	Claimed	—
Models	—	Unverified	Frontier and open models claimed served; no model enumeration performed yet.
Access	direct, openrouter	Claimed	—

Privacy

Field	Value	Grade	Note
Mechanism	TEE (confidential compute), End-to-end encryption	Claimed	Hardware-attested TEE claimed; attestation not independently validated.
Attestation independently verifiable	false	Unverified	No attestation-validation check has been run yet.
Zero-retention	—	Unverified	No explicit zero-retention claim identified in the roster sweep.

Scale

Field	Value	Grade	Note
Tokens/day	tens of billions of tokens/day (claimed, 7-day avg)	Claimed	Self-reported order-of-magnitude figure; not cross-checked against OpenRouter-observed volume.

Pricing published	—	Unverified	—

On-chain

Field	Value	Grade	Note
Token	TAO subnet emissions (Bittensor SN64)	Claimed	Subnet registration and emissions not yet independently queried on-chain.

Change log

2026-08-24 — record: seeded from provider roster v1.0 (Unverified) (source)
2026-09-14 — record: X claim (f_funding): Today the Chutes team is happy to introduce our new CEO, Christian Hyland @cjohan247. (Claimed) (source)
2026-09-21 — api.models: X claim (a_launch): We gave Hermes the Chutes Agent Toolkit and one prompt. It read the docs, ran the doctor script, and wrote a provider config I could review before it touched anything. Then the test call failed: We forgot to fund my account. Prompt, config, attestation: https://chutes.ai/news/open-agent-open-weights-open-enclave (Claimed) (source)
2026-10-05 — scale.tokens_per_day: X claim (c_scale): The 8B was trained decentralized, on RTX 5090s rented from different data centers. Training came to $11.27 per billion tokens, measured. The whole run was about $6,500 in GPU rent at retail hourly price. (Claimed) (source)
2026-10-05 — record: X claim (f_funding): Chutes has a new CEO. Christian Hyland (@cjohan247), ex-Coinbase, Toku, First Wave AI → Parallax is pretraining an 8B MoE in public. Live register, every number read from the fleet as it trains: https://parallax.chutes.ai → Jon's inference preview: 15.5k output tok/s on a single RTX 5090. Unoptimized branch, read it as a preview → New confidential VM shipped. (Claimed) (source)
