As we continue interviewing our community members, we keep coming back to one core question: how do we make Hyperbolic’s AI Cloud infra easier for everyday developers? It’s not a simple challenge and anyone who says “if you build it, they will come” hasn’t tried reaching developers at scale. Our goal is to put the cheapest compute and AI services in the hands of devs around the world. And that means relentless focus on product.
This month, we doubled down on improving the Hyperbolic platform: better stability, more features, and new ways for early adopters to earn free compute (more on that below). We're building in the open and you’re invited to help shape what’s next.
We’re proud to share this month's stats, outcompeting our stats from previous months
195,000+ developers served with inference and GPU rentals
112B+ tokens processed, up 320% from last month
6,500+ GPU rentals, up 28% from last month
127,000+ GPU hours, up 13% from last month
None of this is possible without our developer community pushing the limits of what’s possible. Have a feature request or idea? Jump into our Discord and let us know by submitting a ticket.
April Product Launches and Partnerships
We launched a referral program so you can get free GPUs! With Hyperbolic’s referral program, you can earn free compute (or serverless inference) by inviting friends. Just share your unique link from the dashboard, and if your friend deposits over $5 within 14 days, you both get rewarded. The system includes built-in tracking, fraud prevention, and soon, performance analytics. Hyperbolic is one of the few in AI infrastructure offering this. Try it now.
After user interviews, we learned that running out of credits mid-job was a major pain point, disrupting workflows and momentum. We launched Auto Top-Ups to solve this, accounts now refill automatically when balances fall below a user-defined threshold. The feature is fully integrated into the dashboard with alerts, secure payments, and threshold controls. Say goodbye to unnecessary failed instances! Try it now.
We heard from users that lack of network control was blocking real workloads, so we launched Custom Port Configuration. Developers can now open any port directly on their GPU instance, enabling real-time communication for inference servers, APIs, and full-stack apps. This removes a key blocker for production use cases and increases platform stickiness. Try it now.
We continue to improve the Hyperbolic developer experience. Our upgraded Model Playground now offers a cleaner UI for testing and iterating on models with zero setup and it's seamlessly integrated with the Vercel AI SDK for even faster prototyping. Try it now.
Vercel Partnership
We launched the @hyperbolic/ai-sdk-provider, giving JavaScript and TypeScript developers seamless access to any model on Hyperbolic via the Vercel AI SDK. By extending the existing OpenRouter provider, this unlocks one-line integration for text and image generation, making it easy for the 90k+ developers already using the Vercel SDK to tap into Hyperbolic’s growing model ecosystem. Check out Github.
We’re now an official partner of Vercel’s AI Accelerator, joining OpenAI, Perplexity, Hugging Face, Anthropic, Cursor, and others. As part of the program, we’re offering $50 in platform credits to participants, and $1,000 in credits to the winner.
We became an official partner of the global Vercel Next.js Hackathon in April, giving participants $25 in free credits to try Hyperbolic’s platform and also experience the new Vercel AI SDK integration.
Coinbase Partnership
Hyperbolic became an official launch partner for x402, Coinbase’s HTTP-native payment protocol, enabling agents to access our Serverless Inference with seamless per-call USDC payments. No API keys, just a wallet. This is a major unlock for agentic tools.
Hyperbolic’s Research Articles
Our team is rooted in research and constantly learning, we build based on where the space is heading, not where it’s been. Each month, we will publish our own research to help our community grow with us. Catch the latest on our blog or X. This month we covered:
Looking Forward
We’ve been running user interviews with developers and are actively incorporating feedback into our roadmap. In late May and early June expect announcements around an upcoming Jupyter and Skypilot integration.
On the company side, a major brand update is coming late May, built to inspire the AI community to push what’s possible.
