Migrating Your AI Cloud Inference Off Frontier Model Companies
Why Teams Migrate off a Single Closed Lab The primary benefit of migrating your project away from a closed model provider is model choice. Inference clouds, like DigitalOcean, put dozens to hundreds of models, both open-weight and frontier, behind one endpoint, with one key, giving you access to the right-sized model for each task. Open-weight models typically run $0.10-$0.90 per 1M input tokens, versus $5-$30 per 1M input tokens for many flagship models.

Open-weight models typically run $0.10-$0.90 per 1M input tokens, versus $5-$30 per 1M input tokens for many flagship models. Most tasks in an LLM application don’t require the same level of model capability. If you’re able to determine and use the smallest or most affordable model for each task, you can reduce your costs by 10x to 50x. Then you can get up to 50% reduction in price using batch or asynchronous inference.
