# Chutes

> Chutes is a decentralized AI compute platform offering OpenAI-compatible inference on confidential TEE GPUs.

Chutes offers 7 models through Lava's AI Gateway, supporting Chat Completions. Authentication uses `Authorization: Bearer`. See the [Chutes API docs](https://chutes.ai/docs) for provider-specific parameters.

> [!NOTE]
