📉 Reducing LLM Costs by 50% with Ship Beta
Startup Thesean has introduced a new API endpoint, Ship Beta. The technology utilizes an Inference-Time Optimization approach, operating on a principle similar to JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation: queries are optimized for specific tasks through model ensembles and specialized tools. Ship is a drop-in replacement—simply change the model prefix to ship-like/ to achieve flagship-level quality at half the price.
🌍 The emergence of 'Quality SLA' is changing the LLM pricing model, shifting from paying per token to paying for a guaranteed level of intelligence.
👤 This provides an opportunity to scale AI agents and complex pipelines within the same budget.
