OpenHuman Subscription Model — One Subscription for 30+ AI Providers
OpenHuman's subscription gives you access to 30+ model providers through a single account. The router system automatically picks the best model for each task — you don't hold separate API keys.
💰 Key value
One subscription = access to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, and 30+ more providers. The router handles model selection automatically based on task type.

| Smart routing | ✅ Automatic | ✅ Automatic |

How routing works with subscription
With a subscription, the backend brokers access to all providers. When a hint like hint:reasoning is emitted, the router picks the best model across all available providers. No manual configuration needed — the task determines the model.
Still free to use without subscription
OpenHuman itself is free and open source. You can use it indefinitely without a subscription by:
- Bringing your own API keys (OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, etc.)
- Running local models via Ollama (completely free)
- Using the subscription as a convenience upgrade
