Uber burned $3.4B in AI budget in 4 months.
Microsoft is cancelling Claude Code licenses company-wide.
The root cause is the same: no routing layer between the request and the model.
Build Your Own Router lets you match every request to the right model based on your own benchmarks. Not every prompt needs a frontier model. This is where production AI is heading.

Introducing Merge Gateway - Build Your Own Router.
You're three sprints into your coding assistant.
You pick the most hyped model, integrate, test, deploy.
A month later, a new model drops.
Now you re-test, re-integrate, re-deploy.
Your product didn't change, but the benchmark did.
That's how most AI teams operate.
Chasing a "best" defined by people who've never seen their product.
There is no best model.
There's only the right one for your product, users, and use-cases.
Build Your Own Router runs on your definition of good.
Pick your benchmarks, weigh them, add your own evals.
@merge_api routes every request to your winner.
