Context Inference

Serve your models where your data lives.

Managed inference inside your VPC: frontier models over private endpoints and the distilled models you own on dedicated capacity, behind one router that selects the lowest-cost route validated for each workflow.

How it works

From request to a reviewable result.

Each run keeps the request, actions, evidence, and final decision together.

  1. 01 · Classify

    Read the workflow and quality tier.

    The router receives the task class, latency budget, allowed models, and eval threshold configured for the workflow.

    Output · Eligible routes

  2. 02 · Route

    Choose a validated model.

    Context sends the request to the lowest-cost eligible route with current eval evidence for that task class.

    Output · Model selected

  3. 03 · Measure

    Record quality, cost, and latency.

    The run joins operational telemetry with the evaluator result so routing policy can be reviewed and updated.

    Output · Comparable result

What you can inspect

Capability is only useful when it leaves evidence.

Private endpoints

Frontier and open-weight models reachable without traffic leaving your network.

Recorded with the runEndpoint and region

Dedicated capacity for owned models

The distilled models trained on your work, served on capacity you control, at cost you can predict.

Recorded with the runCapacity and utilization

Cheapest-sufficient routing

Each request routes to the least expensive model verified against your rubrics for that workflow tier.

Recorded with the runRoute reason and eval

Cost telemetry per team

Spend broken down by team, workflow, and model tier, so finance sees where inference dollars go.

Recorded with the runCost, tokens, and latency

Deployment boundaries

Control is part of the product.

Context Inference can run as a standalone surface, while its traces, evals, and policy decisions remain part of the same Context system.

Routes require evidence

A model becomes eligible only after it clears the eval threshold configured for that workflow and version.

Fallbacks are explicit

Teams choose whether a failed or unavailable route may retry on another model, wait, or stop.
