Access ChatGPT & Claude in Russia — no account, no subscription
OpenAI and Anthropic don't serve Russia — but you can still reach GPT-5, Claude and 140+ models on Halo. No account, no subscription, pay per prompt in USDC.
ChatGPT and Claude aren’t officially available in Russia. OpenAI restricts access from Russia, and Anthropic doesn’t offer Claude there — so the usual route (an account, a card, a local phone number) is closed.
Halo is a different route. It’s a peer-to-peer network where independent operators serve GPT-5 (the model behind ChatGPT), Claude, and 140+ other models, and you reach them directly.
No account, no subscription
There’s no OpenAI or Anthropic signup. You connect a wallet and pay per prompt in USDC on Base — no card, no foreign billing address, no monthly plan.
The same models, plus more
Halo operators serve GPT-5, Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku) and Gemini — plus the fast, low-cost open models that have become popular in Russia: DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi. Pick any one; the market routes your prompt to an operator running it.
Private and verifiable
Your prompt is encrypted to the operator, and confidential mode hides it even from the operator inside a hardware enclave (TEE). Every result carries a proof that the real model ran — so you’re never trusting a black box.
