I'm looking for an AI-pilled PM to own one of our newest and fastest-growing product areas. SF, 5 days/week in our beautiful downtown office If you: - send working demos when people expect a doc - are the person friends text with “is there an AI thing that does this?” - have killed an idea you loved after watching someone struggle to use it - see a repetitive task, think “I'm never doing this again,” and actually automate it Then DM me something you’ve built or apply here! 👇 jobs.ashbyhq.com/merge/6925d…

Getting the same quality at 1/3 the cost is crazy
We reran our prior eval but focused only on intelligent routing to models from frontier labs. tl;dr you still get massive cost savings at virtually identical correctness AND actually have lower latency.

Your company's AI, but better! No more information silos 😤 So proud of this launch!!
Introducing Merge’s Universal Context Layer. It substantially decreases token cost while increasing accuracy. Every company uses AI wrong: Say your designer makes a deck using Claude. They teach Claude your design systems and typography. Now a Marketing hire makes a deck. None of the information your designer taught Claude gets passed over… why? Merge fixes this: All knowledge and memory across your entire company gets stored inside our context layer. When someone on the org teaches Al, that skill lives across the entire organization instead of staying locked in their session. Your AI runs faster, cheaper, and with more accuracy. You don’t have to switch systems, incur more costs, or retrain anyone on your team, Merge runs invisibly in the background. Book a demo here: merge.dev/merge-for-workforc…

GLM 5.3 Flash from z.ai (@Zai_org) is on Merge Gateway now. It activates 18B of its 320B parameters per token and posts 63.4 on DeepSWE, against 46.2 for GLM 5.2. I keep being surprised by how fast the cheap tier is catching up. docs.merge.dev/merge-gateway…

75% less AI spend AND better output is absolutely nuts. So proud of this team, couldn't be more excited for what's to come!!
We just cut AI spend by 75% across an entire workforce in one click. Introducing: Merge for Workforce. Without Merge, your employees are left choosing one of two options: 1. Spend 100x the cost they should be from using frontier models for everything 2. Deliver subpar work from overly restrictive model access Instead with Merge, IT can connect any identity provider and set model routing policies by team in one click. Merge pushes them to every machine through a desktop client, overriding the model configs across your team’s AI assistants and coding tools. Now every task gets the right model for the job. The result? 75x fewer tokens with faster and better output.

We brought a group of IT leaders together for dinner last week and got one of the widest-ranging conversations we've had all year: why VHS beat Betamax, the difficulty of learning Dutch, and even the history of Madison Square Park. We also talked about AI, of course, and kept coming back to the same thing: it's absolute madness trying to balance team access to AI with the controls to make sure nothing goes wrong. DM me if you're interested in joining the next one!

Over the last month, I've spent a lot of time working on and thinking about AI evals. Here are some of the harder, less obvious lessons:

Last night, Merge hosted a Security and IT leaders dinner at Crown Shy in NYC! We brought together some of the best from Datadog, Aikido Security, HUMAN, The Hartford, ConnectOne Bank, Industrious, and Valon. Conversation spanned the gamut, but everyone seemed to hone in on the difficulties around releasing AI safely and securely to their teams. We agreed that we all want to allow unfettered AI usage and we're purely limited by governance and security. Reply if you're interested in attending our next dinner!

Man on NJTransit asks me for the time. I’m about to tell him when he goes “NAHH IT’S PARLAY TIME!!” and opens draftkings. We resume not speaking for the rest of the trip

We just beat the best frontier models at a quarter of the price. Now you can too, in one API call. Today we're launching Merge Fusion. Send one prompt to a panel of models, and a judge writes one answer better than any of them alone. Fusion beats Fable 5 outright at 1/4th the cost. It also sets the highest score on the DRACO benchmark.

Launching today: the world’s first fully optimized LLM routing stack that can be embedded directly into your product, Merge Embedded Routing Stack. Model sovereignty is now table stakes for any AI product. Users and companies are demanding full control over the AI models running in your product. Right now, no company is able to do this without massive overhead. Until today. Merge makes it easy for your customers to use your product exactly the way they want to. With a single API, you can: 1. Allow customers to bring their own keys, manage their own budgets, and set policies like fallback rules, model allowlists, and more 2. Let each customer connect and switch their own models, right inside your product 3. Optimize each customer for cost, performance, or capability Without Merge, you’d be: - Building routing policies, provider integrations, and LLM key management - Giving your users zero model independence - Receiving endless customer support tickets asking “can I use 5.6 Sol?” Products that fight their customers' model strategy will lose to products that fit it. Merge is the only place that allows your users to produce the exact results they want, with the models they have access to. Give your customers the advantage, without the massive overhead costs.

65% cost savings without sacrificing any quality vs the flagship LLMs! a full write-up of how @merge_api Gateway gets it done below 👇
We benchmarked intelligent routing on Merge Gateway (@merge_api) against fixed flagship models. Over 120 paired trials, intelligent routing model spend was 65% lower ($8.17 to $2.87), and correctness held at 239 of 240. Here's what we did 👇️
