Every layer has a short list. Here it is.
Vendor-neutral and opinionated. For each layer of an AI system we keep a short list of tools proven in production, what each does, and when we reach for it. Names link to the vendor.
Layer by layer
Grouped by the layer of the system they serve.
Models, sorted by the job they do
We benchmark frontier and open-weight models on your data and route each task to the cheapest one that meets the bar. The frontier moves every few weeks, so the routing layer is built to swap models without touching your product.
A narrow step: the smallest model that passes the eval wins.
Frontier
The hardest reasoning and long agent runs
Workhorse
Most production agent and chat steps
Fast & cheap
Classify, extract, route and summarise at volume
Open-weight
Self-host for privacy, cost or fine-tuning
Hover or tap a model to see what it is for. We route every request to the cheapest crate that passes your evals.
Agent frameworks & protocols
Standard building blocks for tool use, state, checkpoints and interoperability, so your agents are auditable and portable across models.
LangGraph
Retrieval, search & memory
Vector and keyword indexes, rerankers and memory stores, chosen per corpus size, query type and budget. Postgres-native is the right first choice for most teams.
Voice
Speech models, telephony and orchestration for phone and in-app agents, assembled for sub-second turns with semantic turn detection.
ElevenLabs
Enterprise AI platforms
When you already run on a cloud, a data platform or a CRM, we build inside its AI platform so identity, security and billing stay where your IT team expects.
Amazon Bedrock & AgentCore
Data platform
The lakehouse, streaming, transformation and quality layer that turns raw data into trustworthy tables for models and dashboards.
Apache Iceberg
Observability, evals & guardrails
How we prove quality, catch regressions and keep models inside policy once real traffic arrives. Tracing follows the OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions.
Langfuse
Inference, gateways & serving
Where the tokens come from: fast hosted inference, self-hosted serving and the gateway that routes between them. 37% of enterprises already run five or more models in production.
