# About LLMwithCrypto > Who operates LLMwithCrypto, which open-weight models it runs and on what terms, why it is paid in crypto with no KYC, and what it will never sell or claim. - URL: https://llmwithcrypto.com/about/ - Last updated: 2026-10-23 - Publisher: LLMwithCrypto (https://llmwithcrypto.com) LLMwithCrypto is a small, focused service: an OpenAI-compatible API for open-weight language models, paid per token from a crypto balance. This page says who runs it, what runs behind it, and the lines it does not cross. **Quick answer — What is LLMwithCrypto and who runs it?** **LLMwithCrypto** is an OpenAI-compatible API for open-weight language models, operated by SerpGoat LLC. As of 23 October 2026 it serves 12 models, including DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen3.5 and gpt-oss-120b, billed per token at 5% below the median price of public hosts. Credit is prepaid in crypto from $25 and never expires; opening an account needs no ID, no selfie and no documents. ## What problem does LLMwithCrypto solve? Two problems that often come together. Paying for model APIs usually means a card that works internationally, and more and more providers add organization or identity checks before their best models. And apps built on the OpenAI SDK are tied to one provider's models unless someone rewrites the integration. LLMwithCrypto answers both with one endpoint in the OpenAI format, a crypto balance, and a list of open models you switch between by changing one string. ## Who operates the service? SerpGoat LLC sells the credit, runs the API and answers support. It is the party to the [terms of service](https://llmwithcrypto.com/terms/) and the controller described in the [privacy policy](https://llmwithcrypto.com/privacy/). Support is handled by people: A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, and helps you point your SDK or agent at the API. Write to support@llmwithcrypto.com for help and to abuse@llmwithcrypto.com for abuse reports. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number or your API keys, by email or in a chat. ## What runs behind the API? Only open-weight models whose licences allow serving them as an API: DeepSeek, Qwen, gpt-oss, Mistral, Llama, Gemma and others listed on the models page. We run them on GPUs we rent and operate. A request goes to the model you name, the answer streams back, and the tokens are counted with that model's tokenizer and charged to your credit. Every model keeps its own licence. Each model keeps its own licence and use policy (for example Meta’s Llama Acceptable Use Policy and the “Built with Llama” notice); using a model through us means accepting them. The [models page](https://llmwithcrypto.com/models/) lists each licence. ## What will LLMwithCrypto never sell? - **Closed models.** We do not sell access to GPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok: their makers forbid reselling API access without their approval, and we do not have it. - **Shared or resold accounts.** We do not sell logins to ChatGPT, Claude or any other service. Those arrangements break the providers' terms and put the buyer's data and account at risk; the [guide on cheap API keys](https://llmwithcrypto.com/guides/cheap-ai-api-keys-risks/) explains why. - **Your data.** We never train or fine-tune any model on your prompts or outputs, and prompts are not kept. ## Why crypto and no identity checks? Because many developers want to pay for a tool without sending a passport, a card or company papers, and some live where cards for AI services fail. A prepaid balance in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC makes that workable: the money is there before any token is generated, so there is nothing to recover and no reason to ask who you are. The rules still apply to everyone. The [acceptable use policy](https://llmwithcrypto.com/acceptable-use/) binds every account, and Not available to people or companies in Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Russia, Belarus or the occupied regions of Ukraine, because of sanctions. ## What will you never claim on this site? Figures we cannot back. You will not find an uptime percentage, a speed promise, a customer count or a review score here. Our prices carry their date, other providers' figures link to the page we read, and every change to models or prices goes into the [changelog](https://llmwithcrypto.com/changelog/). ## Questions about the company ### Do you train your own models? No. We serve open-weight models published by their makers, under their licences. We never train or fine-tune any model on your prompts or outputs. ### Can I see what a call cost? Yes. The dashboard shows the model, the input and output tokens and the cost of each call, and `GET https://llmwithcrypto.com/api/v1/credits` returns the credit left. ### How do I report misuse? Write to abuse@llmwithcrypto.com with the time (UTC) and what happened. Every abuse report is read by a person; accounts that misuse the service are suspended. ### Who do I contact about my account? Write to support@llmwithcrypto.com. Never include an API key in a message. --- LLMwithCrypto: LLMwithCrypto is an OpenAI-compatible LLM API for open-weight models — DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, DeepSeek R1, Qwen3.5 397B A17B, Qwen3 235B A22B Instruct, gpt-oss-120b, gpt-oss-20b, GLM-4.7, Llama 3.3 70B Instruct, Gemma 4 31B, Mistral Large 3, Mistral Small 4 — paid per token from a prepaid crypto balance, at 5% below the median price of the public hosts.
