Products & Services
The world's first 'model router' that dynamically routes every prompt to the best LLM in real-time, optimizing for cost and performance.
Enterprise compliance automation suite that ensures new AI models meet safety and policy requirements.
A unified API to access and switch between 200+ large language models.
Open-source infrastructure for online reinforcement learning on coding agents.
Market Position
Pioneered the 'Model Router' category, positioning itself as a layer that abstracts away the complexity of choosing LLMs by using research-grade interpretability to route prompts more effectively than even GPT-4 in some cases.
