Finest
Finest is an AI Gateway designed to reduce the cost of using AI models within applications, while maintaining the quality level specified by the user. The platform measures the actual needs of each request, then identifies the appropriate model or set of models for each request, and automatically routes the request to the lowest-cost configuration that meets the specified quality requirements. The platform clarifies that this routing occurs without adding a markup to the model providers’ prices.
