    Model Routing: The Cheapest Model Is the One You Didn't Call

    The largest inference saving is rarely a cheaper model. It is sending each request to the smallest model that can answer it well, and governing that routing decision as a platform control with an owner and an evaluation set.

    Your Internal Developer Platform Will Not Survive AI Unchanged

    AI changes the job of an internal developer platform. Model access, data context, evaluation, agent runtime, cost attribution and policy now need a supported path, not six teams inventing six different stacks.

    Most AI Requests Aren't AI Problems

    Many AI requests are process-ownership and decision-rights problems that arrive as tool requests. A five-question test to run before funding one, and where to route a request that fails it.

    An AI Agent Is Not a Service Account

    An AI agent can act with or without a human in the loop. That needs more than a credential: a named sponsor, bounded mandate, scoped permissions, explicit autonomy and an evidence trail that survives an incident review.

    Typed Decision Models

    The class of models that decide instead of chatting — why a typed probability in milliseconds is worth more, and costs less, than a frontier paragraph.

    AI Delegation Loop

    Stop building a specialist agent for every job. Capture process, toolbox and proof in a playbook a general agent can run — and put every correction back into the folder.

    Agentic API Security

    The caller is no longer a person. The identity, task-scoping, reversibility gates, and observability an API estate needs once autonomous agents hold the credentials.
