The problem

AI spend grows faster than anyone budgets for.

Runaway bills

Token costs compound quietly — by the time finance notices, the run-rate has doubled.

Over-provisioned models

Frontier models answering FAQ-grade questions. Most requests don’t need the most expensive brain.

Unattributed spend

One provider invoice, forty teams. Nobody can say who spent what, or why.

Capabilities in depth

Custom logic at the gateway, savings on the invoice.

Caching

The cheapest token is the one you never buy

Repeat and near-duplicate requests are answered from semantic cache — faster responses and a line item that goes down instead of up.

  • Semantic matching with tunable similarity thresholds
  • TTL and invalidation controls per route
  • Cache-hit analytics by team and workload
  • Opt-out per route for always-fresh paths

Routing

Right-size every request

Route each request to the cheapest model that meets its quality bar — with automatic fallback when providers degrade, and A/B testing to prove it.

  • Quality-bar routing rules per workload
  • Automatic provider fallback on errors or latency
  • A/B routing with side-by-side quality tracking
  • No code changes — routing lives in gateway config

Budgets

Budgets with teeth, bills with names

Token and dollar caps per team, app, and agent — soft alerts, hard stops, and spend attributed automatically so finance gets a bill, not a mystery.

  • Caps per team, app, agent, and provider
  • Soft alerts at thresholds; hard stops at limits
  • Showback and chargeback reporting built in
  • The savings dashboard that pays for the platform

Everything included

The full capability set.

The cheapest token is the one you never buy.

Cache

Semantic caching

Repeat and near-duplicate requests answered from cache — faster responses, and a line item that goes down instead of up.

Routing

Right-size model routing

Route each request to the cheapest model that meets its quality bar, with automatic fallback when providers degrade — no code changes in your apps.

Budgets

Budgets with auto-cutoff

Token and dollar caps per team, app, and agent — soft alerts, hard stops, and no surprise invoices at the end of the month.

Custom

Custom gateway logic

Your rules, at the wire: compress verbose prompts, strip redundant context, enforce max-token policies, A/B route between providers — all in configuration, not code.

Chargeback

Showback & chargeback

Spend attributed to teams and products automatically. Finance gets a bill, not a mystery.

Savings

A dashboard worth screenshotting

Cache hit rates, routing savings, budget adherence — the slide that pays for the platform in the first month.

How it works

Savings in three steps.

  1. Enable Optimize on gateway traffic. Caching and analytics start working immediately.
  2. Set budgets and routing rules. Defaults included; tune per team and workload as you learn.
  3. Watch the bill drop. Most teams find the savings cover the platform — screenshot the dashboard and take the credit.
Questions

The short answers.

Does caching risk stale or wrong answers?

Semantic thresholds are tunable per route, TTLs are yours to set, and any route can opt out entirely. Accuracy-critical paths stay live.

Will routing degrade quality?

Routes carry quality bars, and A/B mode measures both sides before you commit. You route down only where the numbers say it’s safe.

How is Optimize priced?

As an add-on on both tiers — most teams find first-month savings cover the subscription.
