Install, authenticate, and make your first call. The shortest path from nothing to a working request.

Drive the platform from your terminal — projects, deploys, keys and logs.

Every endpoint, parameter and response shape.

Define an agent once and run it from chat, the API, or your own application.

Connect tools and data to models over the Model Context Protocol.

## 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](https://hanzo.ai/platform).

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](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/guides/coding/claude-code).

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](https://hanzo.ai/benchmarks).

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](https://hanzo.ai/pricing).

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](https://hanzo.ai/enterprise).
