Launch HN: Tokenless (YC S26) – Automatic model switching to save money
Tokenless, a YC S26 startup, launched an API gateway that dynamically routes agent traffic to different models. The tool aims to reduce inference costs by switching models automatically based on task requirements.
Tokenless is an API gateway designed specifically for AI agents. It handles routing traffic dynamically between different large language models during a conversation turn.
As agent workflows become more complex, inference costs can escalate quickly. Developers often struggle to balance performance against spending on premium models.
By automating model selection, the platform seeks to optimize operational expenses without manual intervention. This approach could become standard infrastructure for cost-sensitive AI applications.
