The Problem

Developers and startups that rely on cloud AI inference face unpredictable and growing GPU costs as they scale.

Real Demand Evidence

Found on x·2 months ago

I'm running Llama inference on a cloud GPU that costs me $800/mo. I know there are cheaper options for my workload but evaluating and switching is a whole project. I just want something that automatically uses the cheapest option that meets my latency requirements.

Core Insight

Smart routing to the cheapest inference option can dramatically reduce costs without sacrificing quality.

Target Customer
Developers and startups using cloud AI inference.
