Claude API for data annotation, synthetic data, and LLM-as-judge pipelines running millions of requests a month. Volume tiers from $40 per $100 of official-equivalent tokens — cheaper than Anthropic's Batch API, without the 24-hour wait or the pipeline rebuild.
youragent's Official Direct channel serves high-throughput workloads at as low as 40% of Anthropic list price (volume tiers; standard access from 40% off list) with synchronous, real-time responses, dedicated concurrency provisioning, and a verifiable model ID in every response — so your labeling quality rests on the real frontier model, provably.

Prices per $100 of official-equivalent tokens, official 1:1 token rate. Standard access starts at 40% off list; volume tiers go as low as 60% off — tell us your monthly spend for the tier quote. Anthropic Batch API figures per Anthropic's published pricing (50% discount, asynchronous processing).

Failed requests are not billed. Unused balance is refundable. Claude Sonnet / Haiku economical tiers and other current models are available at the same rate basis. Claude, GPT, GLM and Kimi families all available on the same rate basis — see full pricing.
Concurrency Sized to Your Pipeline
The first question volume teams ask is "what's the rate limit?" The honest answer: it's provisioned, not fixed — dedicated pools typically start at 3,000 RPM / 1,000 concurrent requests and scale on demand. Tell us your target RPM and concurrency, and we size dedicated key pools to it before you commit — then load-test it yourself during verification. Multi-pool load balancing with automatic failover holds a measured request failure rate below 0.05% (excluding upstream outages), over 2+ years of operation and $10M+ of delivered token credits.
Your deliverable quality depends on the real model. Prove it first.
Annotation and synthetic-data output is only as good as the model behind it — and this market is full of silently downgraded "Claude" endpoints. Every response we return carries the model field, which we never rewrite. Compare distributions against api.anthropic.com at temperature=0, run behavioral fingerprints, or point any third-party testing platform at us.
Start with a $20 top-up, run the full 15-minute verification, and if any check fails on our side — your remaining balance is refunded in full.
Batch gives you 50% off in exchange for asynchronous processing (results within 24 hours) and a batch-shaped pipeline. Our volume tiers reach $40 per $100 official — cheaper than Batch — with synchronous, real-time responses and zero pipeline changes: it's the same Anthropic-compatible endpoint your code already calls.
What rate limits and concurrency do you support?
Dedicated pools typically start at 3,000 RPM / 1,000 concurrent requests and scale on demand. Tell us your target requests-per-minute and concurrency and we provision for it before you commit — then load-test it yourself during verification.
How do we verify it's the real model before committing?
Run your own eval: every response carries the model field, which we never rewrite. Compare against api.anthropic.com at temperature=0, or use any third-party model-testing platform. The verification guide documents the full 15-minute procedure. We expect you to test us.
How do payment and invoicing work for companies?
Cross-border payments from our Hong Kong entity — bank transfer or stablecoin (USDT/USDC) — invoices suitable for accounting, and refundable unused balance, in writing. No minimum commitment: start at whatever monthly volume you have and scale.
What happens when a request fails mid-pipeline?
Failed requests are not billed. Measured failure rate is below 0.05% (excluding upstream outages); channels fail over automatically across pools, so your pipeline's standard retry logic handles the remaining tail.
