In a previous life, I traded options as a quant trader. When I started building with AI agents, I needed to switch models quickly across inference providers. A trader’s OCD for finding the lowest price kept pushing me to figure out which provider was cheapest.
That sent us down the rabbit hole of comparing inference costs. We realized cost is not just the headline input/output token price. A huge part of our spend came from cache pricing, cache-hit efficiency, and routing choices.
We ended up building a system to optimize all of that. And we turned it into auriko.ai.
