Bytevion is an inference control plane.

Every team building with LLMs hits the same wall. Pricing is tied to tokens and calls. Providers monetize usage with little incentive to help reduce it. Similar prompts get solved from scratch every day, full price. Long histories create unnecessary tokens and add latency to every request. Bills arrive at month end, not tied to product metrics.

Teams could not answer the simplest question: what does one workflow cost per month? Which teams drive the bill? What quality tradeoffs are happening?

Bytevion sits between your application and your LLM providers as a four-step pipeline: semantic caching reuses equivalent answers; smart routing sends simple work to cheap models and hard work to strong ones; token compression shrinks prompts before the call; quality checks verify evidence and contracts before the response is returned.

The runtime ships as a FastAPI gateway in a Docker image, with SDKs for Python and Node, a CLI, an MCP server, and a web playground. Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI Chat Completions shape, so existing call sites usually work without changes.

• Render pilot. 1M requests in 24 hours. 58.6% cost reduction. 62.4% latency reduction. 11.1% higher quality. $16,026 net savings, 3.7 day payback.
• Uniphore APAC. 743K replayed production requests in 11.7 hours across seven workloads. 61.6% cost reduction. 63.5% latency reduction. $14,649 saved in the window. Projected $439K per month at equivalent traffic.
• Primer (London). First signed enterprise contract. $200K year one, 18M committed BCUs at $0.006, BYOK. UK/EU residency, 99.9% uptime SLA.

“20% of savings” is the wrong default billing meter. The right architecture is subscription plus normalized usage units (BCUs), with provider costs passed through. Savings share is an enterprise rider, never the core invoice line. Our pricing page and BCU meter reference are public for a reason: pricing math should not be opaque.
