Inference Platform

Run inference in production.
Cost, latency, and reliability — proven before you ship.

DevZero's inference platform: a gateway, a shadow cache, an eval lab, and full attribution — so cost, latency, and reliability are all proven against your own traffic before you ship.

Cost

40–70% lower spend.

Latency

p95 you can ship.

Reliability

Survive provider outages.

Attribution

Every token traceable.

Illustration: inference calls from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini providers flow through a single DevZero gateway, which routes each call to one of three lanes — cache hit, direct forward, or cheaper-model swap — while a running dollar total ticks in the footer.

The Problem

Your AI stack is fragile, slow, AND expensive.

Five inference APIs. Three providers. p95 spikes when one rate-limits, silent failure when one goes dark, and a CFO who wants an answer by Friday. You don't have a visibility problem — you have a coordination problem across cost, latency, and reliability. And observability alone won't fix it.

Observe

See every call, session, and prompt cluster — across every provider, in one metering surface.

Simulate

Dry-run caching and model swaps against your own traffic. Measure hit rates and quality deltas before you commit.

Automate

Roll out the winning change. Keep quality honest as it runs with live divergence tracking.

Unified Gateway

One LLM gateway. Every provider. Automatic failover.

DevZero's self-hosted AI gateway sits in front of every inference call — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure, Mistral, anything OpenAI-SDK compatible — and meters them in one place. When a provider rate-limits or goes dark, the gateway fails over without your app noticing. Sub-millisecond added latency per call. Your API keys never leave your infrastructure.

  • Self-hosted gateway — your API keys never leave your infrastructure.
  • Captures cost, latency, retries, tool-call %, and finish reason per call.
  • Works with streaming, function calling, and vision endpoints.
  • Tags every call with team, product, and workflow automatically.

Shadow Cache

Prove the savings AND the latency win before you flip the switch.

Shadow cache mirrors your live traffic in dry-run mode — every prompt is hashed and checked against the cache, but responses still come from the upstream provider. You see the cost reduction, the p95 improvement, and the drift, all measured against your own traffic before any caching is enabled. Flip it on with real numbers behind the decision.

Illustration: shadow cache runs alongside production traffic in dry-run mode. Out of 56,732 requests, 38.6% would hit the cache at the 90–100% similarity band, translating to $12,481 in simulated savings — measured before any caching is enabled.

Flip the switch when the numbers hold up. No user-facing change, no code deploy — just a threshold.

Zero risk

Shadow traffic never serves a response. Production sees no change until you flip the threshold.

Similarity bands

Tune aggressiveness post-hoc. See exactly how many requests would hit at 90%+ vs 80%+ vs 70%+, and how each band moves p95 latency.

Cost AND latency proof

Every band shows would-be savings in dollars alongside the latency reduction from cache hits — the CFO and the SRE both get their answer.

Eval Lab

Swap models with evidence, not vibes.

Pick a workload. Pick the models you want to compare. Click run. DevZero replays your real traffic through every candidate and plots quality-vs-cost, so you can say “Haiku is good enough here” with a number behind it — not a gut call.

  • 20+ candidate models across Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini.
  • Runs against your traffic, not a benchmark.
  • Quality score, cost per 1M tokens, latency — one view.
Quality-vs-cost scatter for eight candidate models on a customer-support workload. Each bubble is a model; size reflects latency; position reflects cost (x) and quality (y). Claude Haiku 4.5 is highlighted as the best efficient swap — hover any bubble to see details.

Session-Level Cost

Trace every agent run.

See cost and latency for every agent run — and where the bill came from. Every span: model, tool call, retry. Every dollar mapped to the customer, the workflow, the prompt cluster.

Prompt Clusters

89 workloads, not 30,000 calls.

DevZero groups your traffic by what it actually does — customer support, SQL generation, classifier, summarizer — so cost conversations happen at the workflow level, not the request level. Finally a vocabulary your product team recognizes.

Each cluster is a semantic neighborhood. Each dot is one of your real prompts. We use this shape everywhere else on this page — recommendations, routing, evals.

Illustration: sixty-four scattered prompt points converge into six semantic clusters labeled Customer support, SQL generation, Classification, Summarization, Code explain, and Translation.
Prompt Similarity Clusters89 clusters detected

Cache Quality

Cache hits without quality drift.

Every cached response is scored for semantic divergence against a live baseline. If a model's cached outputs start to diverge, the dashboard tells you which model, which band, and how bad — before users notice, before the CFO asks.

Illustration: cache quality scored by semantic divergence per model. Claude Sonnet 4.6 is most stable at 8.2% divergence; Gemini 2.5 Flash is the weakest at 61.9%.

Attribution

Trace every token to the team that spent it.

Every call carries automatic tags for team, product, workflow, and prompt cluster. They roll up into department-level views that match your org chart — so the CFO gets a bill that makes sense, and platform gets a usage policy lever they can actually pull. Chargeback, showback, and per-team rate limits, on the same surface.

Illustration: monthly AI spend attributed to four departments. Engineering tops the list at $14,218, followed by Data Science at $8,903, Product at $4,211, and Support at $1,914.

Recommendations

Savings that come with a price tag.

Every recommendation — TTL tweaks, model swaps, prompt consolidations — arrives with a dollar amount and a quality forecast. Accept the ones that make sense. Skip the ones that don't. No hand-waving.

Illustration: three recommendations — a model swap saving $4,820 monthly, a TTL increase saving $1,205 monthly, and enabling the shadow cache in production saving $12,481 monthly.

Why DevZero

We've been rightsizing infra at runtime for years.

Kubernetes clusters run idle. GPUs run cold. Provider APIs spike. DevZero's runtime-rightsizing engine has been keeping infra honest — cost, latency, and availability — without restarts, without surprises, since day one. This is that engine, pointed at every token you ship.
