  Phind was an AI answer engine and coding assistant built for developers,
  offering conversational, multi-step technical search on the web and through a
  VS Code extension. Founded in 2022 by Michael Royzen and Justin Wei (Y
  Combinator S22), Phind trained its own code models and briefly held the
  top-ranked open-source coding model on Hugging Face. The phind.com product was
  a consumer/subscription service and never shipped an official public or
  partner developer API - the only genuinely public developer artifacts were its
  open-weight models on Hugging Face (Phind-CodeLlama-34B v1/v2, Python-v1, and
  later Phind-70B). Community "Phind API" projects on GitHub and RapidAPI are
  unofficial reverse-engineered wrappers, not an official interface. Phind shut
  down on January 16, 2026; Pro subscribers received prorated refunds and could
  export chat history through January 30, 2026 before servers were wiped. This
  entry is a historical record; API surfaces are modeled, not officially
  documented.

    Conceptual (modeled) surface for Phind's AI answer engine - the
    developer-focused conversational search that powered phind.com and the VS
    Code extension. Phind never published an official public or partner
    developer API for this service; it was consumed only through the Phind web
    UI and editor extension. No official base URL, authentication, OpenAPI, or
    endpoint reference was ever documented. Any third-party "Phind API" on
    GitHub or RapidAPI is an unofficial reverse-engineered wrapper of the
    website's internal endpoints and is not represented here as official. This
    API is listed for discovery only and is marked endpointsModeled.

    Phind's genuinely public developer artifacts - open-weight models published
    to the Phind organization on Hugging Face. These include the code models
    Phind-CodeLlama-34B-v1, Phind-CodeLlama-34B-v2, and
    Phind-CodeLlama-34B-Python-v1 (fine-tunes of Meta's Code Llama 34B,
    released August 2023 and briefly the top-ranked open-source coding models on
    HumanEval), plus the later Phind-70B, Phind-SVG, and Magic-Edit. These are
    downloadable model weights hosted on Hugging Face, not a hosted HTTP
    inference API operated by Phind; they can be self-hosted or run through
    third-party inference stacks. Listed as endpointsModeled because Phind
    exposed no official hosted inference endpoint for them.
