Reducing LLM Costs 50% Using Best-Execution for Intelligence
Ship is an endpoint that provides output indistinguishable from the model you're already using, at half the price. It achieves this by doing inference-time optimization with two guarantees: capability equivalence and behavioral equivalence. This allows users to either reduce costs on existing workflows or increase quality by using more intelligence with the same budget.
- ▪Ship provides output indistinguishable from the original model at half the price.
- ▪It guarantees capability equivalence and behavioral equivalence through inference-time optimization.
- ▪Users can reduce costs or increase quality with the same budget using Ship.

Ship is an endpoint that provides output indistinguishable from the model you're already using, at half the price.Just replace model="<original>" with model="ship-like/<original>", and all requests will be 50% less expensive. We take the risk that any individual request costs us more to execute. This allows you to either (A) reduce costs on existing workflows or (B) increase quality by using more intelligence with the same budget.We achieve this by doing inference-time optimization with two guarantees: capability equivalence and behavioral equivalence. Capability equivalence means that any problem solved by your original model will also be solved by Ship.
