FrugalAI routing control room visualization

Product controls

Route with evidence. Meter every decision.

FrugalAI combines cost-aware routing, staged quality controls, exact and optional semantic caching, budget actions, and a request-level ledger behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Cost-aware model routing

Select the lowest-cost model that remains eligible under capability, policy, provider, and evidence checks.

Controlled rollout

Quality stays in the loop

01

Monitor

Observe unchanged requests

02

Assist

Route unpinned requests

03

Enforce

Apply approved policy

Sampled evaluation runs inside assist and enforce; a configured SLO breach returns the gateway to monitor mode.

Controlled quality rollout

Move from monitor to assist and enforce, with sampled evaluation and SLO rollback as the guardrail.

Safe reuse

provider call avoided

Optional semantic matching is policy-scoped. Sensitive or dynamic requests can bypass cache entirely.

Scope-aware caching

Avoid repeat provider calls with exact cache and optional policy-approved semantic matching.

Controlled rollout

Savings begin as evidence, not a promise

FrugalAI is in an owner-only production beta. Three rollout modes make routing progressively more active only after a workload has observable cost and quality evidence, with evaluation running as a continuous guardrail rather than a stage.

01

Monitor

Requests pass through unchanged while FrugalAI records cost, attribution, and counterfactual routes.

02

Assist

Only auto or unpinned requests can route under the approved policy and fallback chain.

03

Enforce

Policy applies to the workload. A configured SLO breach rolls the gateway back to monitor.

SLO

Quality guardrail

Not a rollout stage: sampled evaluation runs continuously inside assist and enforce, and a breached quality floor returns the workload to monitor.
