<h4>Why Kimchi?</h4> <p>Great models are raw ingredients.
Kimchi is what happens when you ferment them with good engineering.
We started inside CAST AI helping companies run LLMs on their own Kubernetes clusters; today we run our own coding harness on any model you pick, and the router deciding which model answers each request is ours too.
<br><br><strong>The Auto Router</strong></p> <p>Our promise is one enforcement layer for your AI: budgets, spend attribution, and model routing, applied before a request ever hits a model.
The Auto Router makes the call: for every request, which model serves it.
Eight open-source models whose input prices span more than 20×, cached input up to 50× cheaper than fresh, frontier providers on customers' own keys, and a coding agent that fires hundreds of requests before its task is done.
Frontier-level task success at a fraction of the token cost: that sentence is the product, and it stays true only if the model inside the router keeps getting better.
That model is yours.
