AI credits pay for AI requests: questions you send to a language model from a script, a chat app or a coding assistant. Your Pulsed Media services earn them from the service invoices you pay, with nothing added to your invoice. When you need more, the monthly Virsilipas plans add credits to the same key.
Why go through Pulsed Media?
- The model provider does not learn who you are. Your request goes on with our account, from our server, among every other customer's requests; what you put in the request itself still reaches the provider. More in Privacy and safety when using AI credits.
- We do not keep your prompts. The credit service records counts such as tokens and credits, never the text of your prompts or answers.
- If a provider fails, your request moves on. GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3-Flash, DeepSeek-V4-Pro and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 have a second provider behind them for chat and Gemini-format requests: when the first one fails before the answer starts, the second takes the request at the same price.
- Your credits keep adding up. Under the current rules they never expire.
Where to find them
In the client area, open AI credits in the top menu. The Virsilipas AI key page shows your key, the credits you have left, your usage for the last 30 days and your credit history. Virsilipas is the name of the credit service.
What you can use them for
- Pikkumies, Pulsed Media's own open-source AI helper for seedboxes. It lives in your account and does the checks and the work you ask for: what fills your quota, why a torrent stalls, why a container stopped. Install it with
~/bin/install-pikkumies.sh, and see What is Pikkumies? for more. - The AI coding tools on your seedbox. Codex, Claude Code and Gemini CLI start on your credits when your key is on the seedbox.
- Any app, library or script that lets you set an OpenAI-compatible address and an API key.
Do I need a seedbox?
No. Seedboxes, storage boxes and dedicated servers all earn credits, and a Virsilipas plan works on its own too. The key works from any computer: your own PC, another server or your seedbox.
