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. #mergegateway, @shensi

Uber and Microsoft burned through their annual budget in just a quarter. The future of sustainable and economical AI development will be dependent on robust AI routing technology. Merge Gateway gas a refreshing and promising take on this! #mergegateway, @shensi

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. 👉$100 in credits to the first 200 people that comment http://merge.dev/gateway
