Token Cut

Token Cut is an AI model routing and cost optimization platform designed to help developers lower LLM and generative AI API spend. It runs a lightweight decision step (TypeSafe Jev) to understand the incoming task, estimate the capability tier needed, and then route the request to a suitable model—so you’re not paying frontier prices for routine work.

Token Cut offers one API key and a unified routing workflow for text, image, video, and audio. After Jev classifies the task, Token Cut filters the routes you’ve configured by modality, context, capability, provider availability, and your budget limits—then selects the lowest-priced eligible model. Every routed request is measured and accounted for, including the chosen model/provider and routing confidence.

Token Cut is a good fit for high-volume AI applications such as SaaS products, chatbots, agents, and content-generation systems where small improvements in per-request model selection can compound into meaningful cost savings.

Pricing details are available on the Token Cut pricing page. Savings estimates can be generated with the routing calculator, but actual spend may differ due to Jev call overhead, provider pricing, and Token Cut service fees.

What does Token Cut do?

Token Cut classifies each task with TypeSafe Jev, then automatically routes it to the lowest-priced eligible model based on your configured routing limits.

Is Jev a chatbot or the model that generates the final output?

No. Jev returns structured decision results about the task, while the selected generative model produces the final text or media response.

Does Token Cut always pick the absolute cheapest model?

No. Token Cut chooses the lowest-priced eligible route after filtering by your allowed models and constraints like capability, provider availability, context, and budget.

What content types can Token Cut route?

Token Cut supports a single API workflow for text, image, video, and audio model routing.

How are routing decisions measured and tracked?

Token Cut records which model and provider were selected, along with routing confidence, usage, and cost so you can understand decisions and account for spend.

How do I estimate savings before switching?

Use the Jev routing calculator for an illustrative estimate, then validate on your own workload by comparing total charges—remember to include Jev/routing overhead and service costs.
