The best model is not the best model for every request.
Teams overpay when premium models handle work that faster, lower-cost models can complete at the same quality bar.
Relay gives AI-heavy teams one managed gateway across leading coding and language models—then routes each workload to the best-value model that meets your quality target.

The margin problem
Teams overpay when premium models handle work that faster, lower-cost models can complete at the same quality bar.
Retries, rate limits, account capacity, model changes, failover, and usage reporting steal engineering time from the product.
Relay benchmarks the baseline and records cost, quality, latency, and reliability so finance and engineering see the same answer.
What Relay operates
Keep the upside of a multi-model stack without owning every integration, retry policy, quota failure, and cost dashboard yourself.
Keep your application integration simple while Relay handles provider and model routing.
Recover from provider errors, exhausted capacity, and model outages automatically.
Use the lowest-cost qualified model, not the cheapest model at any cost.
See cost by workload, model, provider, team, and routing decision.
Search Atlas implements the changes instead of handing you another dashboard.
During the design-partner pilot, provider costs pass through without an inference markup.
Model access
Anthropic-compatible access for coding agents
Managed Anthropic capacity and resilient fallback
Match quality and speed to each workload
Route across the full Codex model family
High-throughput agentic engineering capacity
Long-context and research workloads
Open-model economics with enterprise throughput
Relay keeps the integration layer current as providers and model economics change.
90-day pilot
No broad migration. No hand-wavy savings claim. Start bounded, measure everything, and expand after the economics are proven.
We baseline 14–30 days of model usage, costs, latency, errors, and workload patterns.
You approve the tests that a routed workload must pass before any production traffic moves.
We migrate a bounded workload first, with managed fallback and transparent reporting.
You receive a weekly ledger showing the counterfactual cost, routed cost, and net savings.
Design-partner pricing
A base managed-service fee covers routing, reporting, support, and optimization. The performance fee only applies to positive net savings that pass your agreed quality threshold.
