AI COST GATEWAY · v2.6

Repeat work should
cost less each time it runs.

LanboX records every call your agents make, distills the recurring tasks into skills, and runs them on compact models you control. Same quality bar, a bill that keeps shrinking.

01 / The cost curve

Match every task to the smallest model that can do it well.

As more routine work shifts to purpose-built skills, the same workload gets cheaper month over month. Every dollar saved is written to a ledger you can recompute line by line.

Illustrative data: relative monthly cost of one workload over 12 months (month 1 = 100). Real savings are confirmed call by call in the ledger. How the ledger works →

02 / How it works

Route traffic through LanboX. The system handles the rest.

Swap one endpoint

Replace the base URL in your agent's environment. Prompts, tool calls and SDKs stay exactly as they are.

02 · Learn

Distill from real traces

LanboX watches how tasks actually get done, clusters the high-volume work, and trains smaller, focused models on it.

03 · Qualify

Candidates prove themselves first

Every candidate is scored on held-out history. It only gets live traffic after it wins on quality, cost, speed or safety.

03 / Observability

Every call leaves a paper trail.

Each trace pairs the request your app sent with what the gateway forwarded, plus the routing decision, latency and cost. Weights trained on your data belong to you, and your data stays inside your tenant.

04 / FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Will I need to rewrite anything?

No. LanboX is compatible with the major provider APIs, so the only change is the base URL. You can also call the router as if it were a model name and let the gateway pick a model for each turn.

Which API keys are used?

Yours. Your provider key is stored encrypted, and each agent gets its own LanboX key. At forward time the gateway swaps in your provider key and tags the call with its origin.

What data can LanboX see?

That's your call. The default mode only observes and never alters traffic, and capture depth is configurable. To leave, point the base URL back at your provider. It takes effect within a minute.

What happens if quality slips?

Nothing ships without evidence. A candidate must match or beat the frontier baseline on held-out data, and you approve the switch. Rolling back is a single click and is always available.
