Question 1

What is HiNow?

Accepted Answer

HiNow is an enterprise-grade unified AI platform that provides access to over 100 AI models through a single API. Instead of managing separate integrations with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Mistral, organizations use HiNow as a single intelligent gateway: one API key, one billing relationship, one compliance framework. HiNow also develops proprietary AI models (Hinova, HiQuantum, HiVision, HiGenesis, HiCode) optimized for enterprise workloads.

Question 2

What AI models does HiNow offer?

Accepted Answer

HiNow provides access to 100+ models including: proprietary HiNow models (Hinova for general-purpose, HiQuantum for advanced reasoning, HiVision for image analysis, HiGenesis for creative content, HiCode for programming), plus models from OpenAI (GPT-4o, o3), Anthropic (Claude 4), Meta (Llama 4), Google (Gemini 2.5), Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, and many others. All accessible through a single, unified API.

Question 3

Is HiNow API compatible with OpenAI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HiNow's API is fully compatible with OpenAI's chat completions format. Migrating from OpenAI to HiNow typically requires changing only the base URL and API key. Your existing code, prompts, and integrations work immediately. This also means any tool or framework that supports the OpenAI API (LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGPT, etc.) works with HiNow out of the box.

Question 4

What programming languages does HiNow support?

Accepted Answer

HiNow provides official SDKs for 10 programming languages: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Java, C#, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, and Swift. All SDKs are open-source on GitHub and support async operations, streaming, and the full range of API features including chat, vision, audio, embeddings, and image generation.

Question 5

Can I build AI agents with HiNow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HiNow offers a complete AI agents platform for building, deploying, and managing autonomous agents. Features include visual workflow builder, multi-step task orchestration with tool calling, integration with external APIs and databases, real-time monitoring and analytics. The platform is comparable to leading frameworks like AutoGPT, CrewAI, and LangGraph, but fully managed with enterprise-grade security, compliance, and observability built in.

Question 6

Is HiNow secure enough for enterprise use?

Accepted Answer

HiNow is built for enterprise from the ground up. We hold SOC2 Type II certification, ISO 27001, and are GDPR, HIPAA, and LGPD compliant. We offer end-to-end encryption, zero data retention policies, data residency options, SSO/SCIM integration, role-based access control, audit logs, and on-premise deployment. Our infrastructure operates with a 99.99% SLA across globally distributed regions.

Question 7

How does HiNow compare to OpenRouter and other AI gateways?

Accepted Answer

Unlike pure API aggregators, HiNow is a full-stack AI platform. We develop proprietary models (Hinova, HiQuantum, HiVision, HiGenesis, HiCode), offer a complete agents platform for building autonomous workflows, provide enterprise-grade security certifications (SOC2, HIPAA, LGPD), and operate dedicated infrastructure with 99.99% SLA. We also offer 10 official SDKs, a management platform for organizations and projects, and an AI chat interface for end users.

Question 8

Does HiNow offer a free tier?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HiNow offers a free tier so developers can start building immediately. Sign up at platform.hinow.ai to get your API key and access to all models. Pay-as-you-go pricing ensures you only pay for what you use, with transparent per-token pricing for each model.
