# Introduction

> Welcome to GeneralCompute. The world's fastest inference with the best developer experience.

## What is GeneralCompute?

GeneralCompute provides **OpenAI-compatible** SDKs for Node.js and Python, offering a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK. We operate the fastest inference layer on top of premium models like MiniMax M2.7 and DeepSeek V3.2 — no need to reason about SambaCloud vs. SambaStack SKUs or other upstream product names.

### Key features

* **OpenAI-compatible** surface: same endpoints, parameters, and streaming semantics
* **Tool calling & JSON mode** so agents can safely act on structured outputs
* **Reasoning-ready models** with deliberate thinking steps
* **Lightning-fast inference** with optimized runtimes and queueing
* **Simple migration** — swap your import and API key to move workloads in minutes

## Platform coverage

* **Regions:** All production traffic runs in `us-west-2` today; dedicated regions are available for Enterprise deployments.
* **SLA:** Pay-as-you-go plans inherit best-effort reliability. Enterprise tiers include contractual SLAs, escalation paths, and dedicated capacity.
* **Compatibility:** Every feature highlighted in these docs (tool calling, JSON mode, reasoning) shares the same OpenAI-compatible interface, so your orchestrators keep working.
