Model choice became an infrastructure problem. We treat it like one.

Our mission

We spent years shipping LLM features and watching the same pattern repeat: a team picks the strongest model during prototyping, ships it, and then discovers that most of their traffic never needed it. Classification, extraction, short summaries and repeat questions were being billed at frontier rates.

Fixing it by hand meant writing routing logic, keeping a model matrix current, adding a cache, then adding failover when a provider had a bad afternoon. Every team was rebuilding the same layer, badly, and rewriting it each time a new model shipped.

Thalera is that layer, maintained as a product. One endpoint, a policy you control, and a model landscape that stays current without you touching it.
