Cheaper & Faster
Inference

By using frontier research on KV cache transfer between models, cut your inference costs and time by 20%. Prefill runs on a small model, and decode on a large one.

The first KV cache-aware inference engine

Cost comparison: standard inference pays a long large-model prefill followed by decode, totalling 1.0 times cost. KV cache-aware inference pays a short small-model prefill and a small transfer step, with identical decode cost, totalling 0.8 times. A dashed region at the end of the KV cache-aware row marks the 0.2 times cost saved. Decode costs the same on both paths; the savings come from prefilling small.
Research basis: Cross-Model KV Cache Transfer ↗

Prefill cost scales with the size of the model doing the reading, which means today you pay large-model rates before the large model has produced a single word. On long inputs, that's most of the bill.

We prefill on a small model instead. Its per-layer K/V tensors are stripped of source rotary embeddings, projected head-wise into the target model's attention space, and re-embedded at target positions. The large model enters decode against a populated cache it never computed.

Prefill small and decode large. Transfers are gated on held-out quality and latency for every model pair. Ordinary prefill takes over whenever a pair doesn't clear, so the target model uses its usual inference path.

Serviced open-weight models

Private, and we set it up. Independent benchmark leaderboards increasingly place leading open-weight models at frontier-level quality across common reasoning, coding, and knowledge tasks. We handle the GPUs and the serving. You change one line of config.
