Debian Inference Portal

A self-service portal for Debian contributors to access shared LLM inference. Log in with your Salsa account, create API keys, and track your budget — all through your browser.

Getting started

  1. Sign in with Salsa (top right). Only active Debian Developers and Debian Maintainers are granted access; the portal checks your status against nm.debian.org.
  2. You land on your dashboard, which shows your budget and the keys you've created.
  3. Create a key, copy the generated value, and use it as a Bearer token against the proxy.

API keys

  • Keys are created per-user and inherit your budget and the models the proxy exposes.
  • A new key expires after 90 days by default. Use Renew on the dashboard to extend one by another 90 days.
  • A key value is shown to you only once, right after creation. The portal never stores the raw value — if you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.
  • You can revoke a key at any time; anything using it will stop working immediately.

Budgets

Spending is tracked per user over a rolling window that resets weekly. Defaults are tiered by your Debian status:

Status Default weekly budget
Debian Developer (DD) $25
Debian Maintainer (DM) $10

Your current spend and the next reset time are shown on the dashboard. The progress bar turns orange near 70% and red near 90% of your budget.

Budgets are enforced by LiteLLM at the user level, so the total spend across all of your keys counts toward your limit. If you hit your cap, new requests fail until the window resets.
