About AI21 Labs
AI21 builds foundation models and AI systems for enterprise use. The Intelligent Gateway is a drop-in endpoint that reduces token cost and waste through routing, caching, and compaction. The Harness Optimizer finds the best configuration by searching against private evals.
Post-training allows enterprises to build intelligence on their own data. A dedicated model can be distilled from workloads to match frontier accuracy at lower cost. The platform is designed for teams that need end-to-end control of their AI stack.
Key features
- Intelligent Gateway reduces token waste based on agent traffic
- Harness Optimizer searches across thousands of configurations to balance cost and quality
- Dedicated model tuning to match frontier quality on specific workloads
- Two-line setup to start routing, caching, and compaction on live traffic
