Monitor and control your AI spend on every provider... on Our early users save 40% on average. Every week, the price-intelligence-latency frontier shifts, and we expect this trend to continue. Tradeoffs between latency, reasoning, cost, service tier, open source and closed source models are shifting constantly. Router sends every request to the model that's actually best for the task and helps you control what tokens you buy. We benchmark it against real work: ~40% lower cost for the same outputs. Today we're opening it to everyone. Two lines of code or just change your base URL. No Ramp account needed. Free through 2026, first $26 on us. Get an API key today atshow more

Weave is launching the number 1 prompt router in... the world. It enables you to get 70% more efficient use of your tokens. We analyzed millions of prompts and found that the vast majority don't need a frontier model. Weave Router fixes that. It analyzes your prompt and routes it to the highest quality model with the lowest cost (across open and closed source models). This all happens in your current workflow on Claude, Cursor or Codex so you don't have to change a thing. Early customers have seen an ~70% reduction in costs without any slowdowns. Source code available.show more

Escalate to frontier models when they’re actually needed Balanced mode reduces spend by 46% per session Eco mode helps teams save > 76%show more

Introducing EVO Router - a smart router that continuously... optimizes and hill-climbs on your AI inference workloads. It learns from your code, prompts, production traffic, use cases, and SLAs, then searches for the best setup for every workload. That can mean more than choosing just a single model or routing through a classifier. EVO can optimize across model × provider combinations, fusion systems, cascades, routing policies, and prompts — whatever the workload allows, while staying within your quality, latency, and reliability constraints. As open-source models move closer to frontier-model performance, we believe this kind of workload-specific hill-climbing will become an important part of how AI systems are deployed and operated. Our early users have seen 30–60% lower inference costs across use cases ranging from complex multi-turn agents to asynchronous batch workloads. EVO Router has also reached the Pareto frontier on several benchmarks, outperforming existing setups on cost, quality, or both.show more

Brad Gerstner: Companies Will Pay 5x More for the... Best AI, No Evidence of Pricing Pressure from Open Source Brad Gerstner: “Jason, you talked about summarizing a document, it may take 20,000 cheap tokens to do. Of course, shoot that to a lagging model or an open source model. But if you're talking about replacing a software engineer for two hours, that may take two million expensive tokens, and the consequence of using something that's 95% as good is really high. Because you have a long-running task, and if the task breaks early, or it breaks in the middle, or it breaks at the end, there's a huge cost to that.” @jason: “You still burn the tokens, right? And back to this analogy I was using, you're pulling the slot machine, and you lose.” Brad: “And (you lose) the time and the compute. So if an AI agent is replacing a $200 an hour consultant, right? Take that as an example. So three consulting firms, they're competing. They need the smartest consultant. They're charging $200 an hour. The difference between spending $3 on a cheap model or $15 on an expensive model to replace a $200/hour consultant, it's just irrelevant. That inference cost difference is irrelevant if you're getting something that's bulletproof for $15, and so I think that's what we're seeing play out. The best evidence for all of this is just revenue growth. I'm talking about, what is Anthropic's revenue growth compared to OpenAI, compared to the open source models? Millions of independent actors are choosing every single day. The open source companies are growing, right? But they're growing selling something that is really, really cheap. And there's room in every single market for premium products, for mid-tier products, and for commodity products, and I think we see a lot of this token growth, people are speculating that the intelligence gap between that commodity stuff and the frontier stuff is going to collapse to the point that people won't pay for the frontier stuff. There is no evidence of that on the field today.”show more

Chamath is making one of the most important business... arguments of 2026. Half of large US companies right now cannot generate returns that exceed their cost of capital, which has normalized back to its long run average of 8 to 11%. Another one in seven companies globally is stuck generating persistent returns between 1 and 5% and most businesses don't have room for error and in this environment walks every frontier AI lab saying the same thing, give us your data, your workflows, your processes and our model will make everything better. And companies by the millions said yes. What they didn't fully account for is what happens on the other side of that door. Every time an employee runs a query through a frontier model API, the prompt goes through external servers, workflows, customer data, pricing logic, internal processes, all of it transmitted through a third party. As Alex Karp said companies are spending on tokens while handing over the exact proprietary advantages that make their business worth owning. Microsoft blocked internal use of Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 but over its 30-day data retention policy and the largest software company in the world decided a frontier model's data handling was too risky for its own employees. A US government action revoked access to another frontier model for foreign nationals overnight. Now here's where the cost math becomes impossible to ignore. Deutsche Bank calculated a roughly 65x cost gap between frontier models like Claude Fable 5 at ~$3.25 per task and open-source alternatives at ~$0.05. For 90% of everyday enterprise tasks, performance is comparable. Open-weight models now match closed frontier systems on core agent tasks at roughly one-tenth the cost, a high-volume deployment that costs $250/day on Claude runs at $12/day on an open-source equivalent. Chamath Palihapitiya tested this directly by running a standard enterprise code migration task through an orchestration layer wrapping an open-source model came in 16.4x cheaper than using a frontier model directly.show more

Matthew Gallagher Built a $401M Company in Year One... with 2 People. And the tool behind it? Claude Code. This year he's on track for $1.8B. Sam Altman predicted this. It's happening now. The problem? It costs money. API credits stack up. Monthly bills keep growing. Every prompt eats your budget. Every project drains your wallet faster. Until now. Two methods. 99% cheaper. One is completely free. Forever. $0. Not a trial. This video breaks down both step by step. ↓ Let me put this in perspective. $100-$500. That's monthly. That's what you spend. That's $6,000/year on API credits. Just to use a tool you haven't shipped anything with. The $401M guy? Spending $0. Same capability. Shipping weekly. Different cost structure. Different results. Different life. I'm about to hand you his cost structure for free. ↓ Open source vs closed source. Pay attention. Closed source: Claude. GPT-4. Pay per token. Meter always running. Open source: Qwen. Llama. Mistral. Free to download. Free to run. Free forever. No meter. No tokens. No bill. Here's what nobody tells you: 80% of coding tasks? Open source handles them. More than handles them. Writes clean code. Debugs errors. Generates boilerplate. Handles routine work perfectly. You're paying premium prices for tasks that don't need premium intelligence. That's hiring a brain surgeon to put on a bandaid. Smart play: Free models for the 80%. Paid credits for the 20%. That's what the $401M guy does. That's what this video teaches you. Follow Himanshu Kumar for more breakdowns that turn free tools into real businesses. ↓ Method 1: Ollama. Local. Free. Forever. Download it. Pull a model. Point Claude Code at it. Done. No internet needed. No API keys required. No monthly subscription. No token counting ever. No bill. Today. Tomorrow. Ever. Your data never leaves your computer. Complete privacy. Complete freedom. Claude Code thinks it's talking to the cloud. It's talking to your laptop. For $0. The video walks through every step: Every config file. Every variable. Every command. Every click. If you can follow a recipe, you can do this. People who set this up 3 months ago? Saved $300-$1,500 since then. Workflow didn't change one bit. ↓ Hardware you need: 16GB RAM: 7B models run smooth. 32GB RAM: 32B models run comfortable. 64GB + GPU: biggest models available. No GPU? Still works. Just slower. Few extra seconds. That's it. Your $1,500 laptop is sitting there running Chrome and Spotify. Put it to work saving you $200/month instead. Follow Himanshu Kumar for more breakdowns that turn free tools into real businesses. ↓ Method 2: Open Router. Free Cloud. No Hardware. Weak machine? Don't want local setup? This method is for you. Free AI models in the cloud. No download. No hardware. Configure Claude Code to route through Open Router. The config: Base URL: Open Router API. API key: free Open Router key. Default Sonnet: free. Default Opus: free. Default Haiku: free. Small fast model: free. Subagent model: free. Free. Free. Free. Free. Free across the board. Same interface. Same commands. Same workflow. Zero cost. Copy the config from the video. Paste it. Save $200/month. Starting today. Right now. ↓ When to use which: Ollama (local): Best for privacy. Best for offline work. Best for unlimited usage. Best if you have decent hardware. Open Router (cloud): Best for weak machines. Best for instant setup. Best for trying different models. Best if you don't want to manage anything. Both methods: Best for 80% of your daily work. Still use paid Claude for: Complex architecture. Multi-file refactoring. Deep reasoning tasks. The 20% that actually needs it. $20/month instead of $200/month. Same output. 90% less cost. ↓ The math that should make you angry. You (current): $200-$500/month. $2,400-$6,000/year. $7,200-$18,000 over 3 years. You (after this video): $20-$50/month. $240-$600/year. $720-$1,800 over 3 years. Savings over 3 years: $6,480-$16,200. That's a used car. That's seed money. That's 6 months of rent. All from one 25-minute video. All from 15 minutes of configuration. Highest ROI 25 minutes you'll spend this year. ↓ The limitations. I won't lie to you. Open source is not Opus. Not as smart on complex reasoning. Not as good at long-context tasks. Makes more mistakes on nuanced problems. But they are: Free. Capable. Getting better monthly. Good enough for 80% of daily work. Smart cost management isn't being cheap. It's being strategic. Expensive tool when it matters. Free tool when it doesn't. ↓ The one-person billion-dollar company is coming. $401M in year one proved it's possible. The building blocks: AI that codes: Claude Code. Way to run it free: this video.

Today we're launching Accomplish FREE - powered by our... new hybrid model router. Since we launched Accomplish a few weeks ago, we've been blown away by what users are building with it. Hundreds of thousands of you downloaded the app and took it for a spin, but one thing kept coming up: not everyone wants to bring their own API key just to get started. So today we're fixing that with free, built-in models - made possible by a massive shift that's happened in just the past few weeks: the rise of fully hosted open-weight models - locally on your Windows machine with NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce, on your Mac with Apple MLX, or on Accomplish cloud, for FREE. Our new hybrid routing algorithm dynamically routes between cloud models and models running locally on your machine - optimizing for local execution by automatically detecting your hardware capabilities and each sub-task's complexity: coding, visuals, simple classifications - every LLM call is routed to the best model. We also brought some of our favorite enterprise features to the free tier: scheduled task dispatch, Google Workspace integration (Google Drive Docs, Sheets, Slides) via the new Google Workspace CLI, native Slack MCP connectivity, and more. Accomplish FREE is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Download, send a task - and boom, it just works with ZERO configuration! Download link in bio / first comment >>show more

NOBODY wants to send their data to Google or... OpenAI. Yet here we are, shipping proprietary code, customer information, and sensitive business logic to closed-source APIs we don't control. While everyone's chasing the latest closed-source releases, open-source models are quietly becoming the practical choice for many production systems. Here's what everyone is missing: Open-source models are catching up fast, and they bring something the big labs can't: privacy, speed, and control. I built a playground to test this myself. Used CometML's Opik to evaluate models on real code generation tasks - testing correctness, readability, and best practices against actual GitHub repos. Here's what surprised me: OSS models like MiniMax-M2, Kimi k2 performed on par with the likes of Gemini 3 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 on most tasks. But practically MiniMax-M2 turns out to be a winner as it's twice as fast and 12x cheaper when you compare it to models like Sonnet 4.5. Well, this isn't just about saving money. When your model is smaller and faster, you can deploy it in places closed-source APIs can't reach: ↳ Real-time applications that need sub-second responses ↳ Edge devices where latency kills user experience ↳ On-premise systems where data never leaves your infrastructure MiniMax-M2 runs with only 10B activated parameters. That efficiency means lower latency, higher throughput, and the ability to handle interactive agents without breaking the bank. The intelligence-to-cost ratio here changes what's possible. You're not choosing between quality and affordability anymore. You're not sacrificing privacy for performance. The gap is closing, and in many cases, it's already closed. If you're building anything that needs to be fast, private, or deployed at scale, it's worth taking a look at what's now available. MiniMax-M2 is 100% open-source, free for developers right now. I have shared the link to their GitHub repo in the next tweet. You will also find the code for the playground and evaluations I've done.show more

How to use 50+ API keys (models) for FREE... on OpenClaw API??? - go to - login or register your account - click on "more models" - click on "use case" and select what you need it for - choose the model and open it - click on "view code" → "Generate API key" many models don't allow direct deploy, so use the "view code" button to generate API access basically Nvidia NIM gives you the ability to test almost any model from their list for FREE some of them are not worse than GPT 5.2 or Claude Opus 4.6, some might even perform better depending on the task how to understand if a model is efficient and compare it with others??? - go to - type the model name in search - click on "benchmarks" - you’ll see performance tests and rankings this way you can easily compare free models with paid ones of course there are RPM limits, on many models it’s around ~40 requests per minute each model is different, after generating the API key, RPM limits are shown in the top-right corner nothing stops you from using them, many work perfectly fine, super solid option for first tests and for learning OpenClaw or any other system where you need an AI API modelshow more

We’re launching Optima. Now anyone can create a custom... benchmark for their use case, leveraging Artificial Analysis’ leading research and platform Building and running benchmarks is difficult. We have distilled Artificial Analysis’ research and experience developing benchmarks into Optima, a new platform for benchmarking models on your own workloads and comparing performance, speed and cost efficiency. Optima allows you to find the best model for your task, or an equally performant alternative to your current setup at 10x lower cost or time per task. We’ve integrated Artificial Analysis' research and experience in benchmarks across the Optima workflow: ➤ Build benchmarks based on your own data and use cases: There are three ways to build a benchmark with Optima. Upload an existing evaluation dataset from your own files or Hugging Face, or import agent traces from platforms including Arize AI, Braintrust and langfuse.com. Install the Optima skill to build a benchmark using context from your coding environment and previous sessions. Or simply describe your use case and provide example inputs and outputs, and Optima will build the benchmark for you ➤ Run across the latest models: Run the same benchmark across leading models in a single click, and keep your leaderboard up to date as soon as new models are released ➤ Bring Artificial Analysis grading to your own benchmark: Evaluate responses against objective rubric criteria or using the same pairwise judging approach used for Artificial Analysis benchmarks including GDPval-AA and AA-Briefcase. For pairwise judging, select your preferred responses from a sample and Optima uses those preferences to rank models across your test set ➤ Compare performance, cost and time efficiency: Optima measures more than model performance. Cost per Task and Time per Task are tracked alongside benchmark scores, with category-level results and support for custom metrics, allowing you to compare the tradeoffs between models for your specific use case Ahead of launch, here are examples questions our beta testers answered with Optima: ➤ Which model can save me 10x the cost without a meaningful decrease in quality for my finance & accounting agent? ➤ Which model best matches the writing style of lawyers for my legal agent? ➤ Which model can best identify different elements in my custom image dataset? Optima is available today. Build your own benchmark atshow more

We just cut AI spend by 75% across an... entire workforce in one click. Introducing: Merge for Workforce. Without Merge, your employees are left choosing one of two options: 1. Spend 100x the cost they should be from using frontier models for everything 2. Deliver subpar work from overly restrictive model access Instead with Merge, IT can connect any identity provider and set model routing policies by team in one click. Merge pushes them to every machine through a desktop client, overriding the model configs across your team’s AI assistants and coding tools. Now every task gets the right model for the job. The result? 75x fewer tokens with faster and better output.show more

Jensen says Open Source can be MORE expensive for... enterprises, Brad Gerstner explains why: Brad Gerstner: “Over the last two weeks, everybody's been saying that the Chinese have caught up, that open source tokens have caught up in intelligence, that they're much cheaper, etc. And Elon comes out and says, ‘Not so fast. We're entering the singularity, and the frontier models are way further ahead than people think.’ I believe that to be true. And then Jensen came out this week and said, ‘Closed models are actually cheaper if you don't have to build it for yourself, the training costs, and a lot of expertise to fine-tune, and maintain, and guardrail, and keep it safe. So he's basically making the argument that not only are the frontier models further ahead, but that the cost differential between the two is not what everybody's making it out to be, which I think explains why (closed models) continue to run away with it on the revenue side of the equation. For the vast majority of use cases, I think token consumption is going up for the open source guys, while share of economics is going up for the frontier labs. I think that's what we want to see.” $NVDAshow more

Liquid AI (Liquid AI) CEO Ramin Hasani (Ramin) says:... "We're bringing the cost of tokens to zero." "The axis was maximizing intelligence at all costs." Foundation models need to optimize across 3 axes: 1.) Intelligence and capability 2.) Efficiency and cost 3.) Substrate: where the intelligence actually runs "Efficiency is not an afterthought. Energy is not abundant." "If you maximize intelligence at all costs, that axis alone is not going to get you to the place that you want to go." "Efficiency and cost of intelligence as a first-class citizen, and not an afterthought." "Where does this intelligence system go? AI is majorly getting hosted in data centers, but you could also bring intelligence on phones, on laptops, on airplanes, on cars." "Imagine if it's not tokens that are actually important. It's just the outcome that actually matters." "Not just thinking about foundation models as the token machines that are generating money and revenue for the foundation model companies that are useless tokens, and getting them into the place where they can actually unlock true value for enterprises."show more
