D-AI is an AI infrastructure and application platform centered on “sovereign AI.” Its core products include the Cotton conversational model, PromptIDE/IDE, and the Cotton API. Its stated vision emphasizes enabling countries or organizations to own independent AI infrastructure, data sovereignty, and localized training capabilities. For everyday developers, the most practical offerings at this stage are the Cotton API and its conversation/prompt engineering tools.
At the model level, the official materials describe Cotton-0 as a 33B-parameter dense transformer. Later models include Cotton-1, Cotton-1.5V with visual multimodal reasoning, as well as COTTON-2 and COTTON-2 Mini. The API Beta model, cotton-beta, supports a 128k context window, function calling, and system prompts, making it suitable for long-document processing, Agent tool use, and complex application orchestration. In terms of integration, it is compatible with the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs; migration mainly involves generating an API key and replacing the URL, so the development barrier is relatively low.
The information currently disclosed is mainly for the public Beta. As of the end of 2024, all users receive $25 in free API credits per month, automatically applied to their accounts. The official materials do not state commercial pricing, token rates, overage fees, rate limits, enterprise plans, SLA, or technical support tiers. As a result, it appears trial-friendly, but its long-term cost cannot yet be assessed.
The strengths are that the API is compatible with mainstream SDKs, supports key modern LLM application features such as long context and function calling, and has a product roadmap covering chat, IDE, API, and multimodal capabilities. Its “sovereign AI” positioning may appeal to governments, public-sector organizations, and industries that care strongly about data jurisdiction. The limitations are also clear: there are no public benchmarks, real-world case studies, or stability metrics; the privacy messaging is more of a strategic commitment, with no visible details on compliance certifications, encryption, data retention, or auditing; Chinese-language support is also not specified.
D-AI is better suited to developers who are willing to try new model APIs, teams that need an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible interface, and governments or large organizations interested in localized or sovereign deployment. Access from mainland China and supported payment methods have not been disclosed, so they should be treated as “unknown”; it is advisable to first test network connectivity, account registration, and payment availability. If stable access from China and a Chinese-language ecosystem are required, alternatives such as 通义千问, 智谱 GLM, 百度文心一言, Kimi, and DeepSeek may be worth comparing.
