Chat
One thread with every model, your MCP tools, your files and a code sandbox.Playground
Every model in every mode, with each run’s tokens and cost beside the answer.Hanzo Dev
A coding agent that opens the files, makes the change, runs the tests and shows you the diff.Zen models
Open-weight frontier models you can self-host anywhere, served on the Hanzo API.MCP
Thirteen tools — shell, files, code, git, HTTP — behind one server.Agents
A Python SDK where an agent is a model, instructions and tools, and several can sit behind one router.Go further

Optimizing for Headless Commerce in the Era of Agentic LLMs2026-10-26
Buyers are becoming agents. What it takes to be readable, signable and payable by an LLM with no human in the loop, and what Hanzo ships for it today.Your AI is Planning To Kill You2026-10-25
Why frontier models fail when real lives are on the line, and how Hanzo Kai 1.9 enforces deterministic safety.Kai 1: Decisions, Not Completions2026-10-07
Kai is Hanzo's decision model, served by the Hanzo API. Give it explicit state and a listed question, and it returns a typed, calibrated answer — a choice, a score, a yes/no, or a reasoned deferral.Questions
What is Hanzo and how does it work?
Hanzo is an AI cloud on one account. Chat with frontier models, build and ship with Hanzo Dev, and call the same models from one API: Enso, our frontier model, and Kai, which makes a decision in one call. How the platform fits together.
Can I keep using Claude Code?
Yes. Install the Hanzo CLI and sign in, then run Claude Code with its model calls going through api.hanzo.ai, or point your own Claude Code install at Hanzo. The commands, ready to copy.
Where do the numbers on hanzo.ai come from?
Each one is read when the page opens: the race and the boards from Hanzo's research runs, the prices from our price list, and the plans from our plan list. A figure whose source does not answer is left out, never replaced with an older one. Every board and its runs.
How much does it cost to use?
Free needs no card. Paid plans are sold by the month for one person and by the member for a team, and every paid plan can be cancelled any time. Enterprise is priced with our team. See every plan and model rate.
Can Hanzo run in our own cloud or on our own GPUs?
Yes, with Enterprise: in your cloud, on your own servers or fully offline, with dedicated compute and your own models. Hanzo Enterprise.
