The Problem
Every AI model release
rebuilds your stack.
Teams are locked into providers, paying 40% more on inference, and rewriting code every time a smarter model ships. The bill keeps climbing while engineering velocity stalls.

02 · The Solution
One endpoint. Every model. The right one, automatically.
A unified gateway that routes
every request to the lowest-cost model
that still meets your bar.

03 · Competitive Moat
Why we win
Three moats competitors
can't copy from a blog post.
01
Proprietary Benchmark
Ramp SWE-Bench
Public leaderboards measure toy tasks. Ours is derived from Ramp's own production engineering workloads — measuring real model fitness, not leaderboard theater.
Real workloads · Real signal
02
Live Evaluation
Shadow Models
New models run in shadow against live production traffic before promotion. We measure quality and cost against real users — so we ship winners, not guesses.
Production-grade confidence
03
Agentic Routing
Flex Tier + Switchyard
Routine steps stay on cheap models. NVIDIA Switchyard escalates complex parts of agentic workflows to higher-tier models — automatically, per request.
Per-request intelligence
Each moat compounds — benchmarks inform shadow tests, shadow tests inform routing policy.
Defensible · Self-reinforcing
