Ramp Router and Fireworks AI enable dynamic model routing and vertical integration
Application-layer companies are building infrastructure to optimize inference: Ramp Router dynamically selects models/service tiers based on latency, cost, and quality benchmarks, while Fireworks AI partners across the stack (silicon, data centers, networking) rather than vertically integrating, creating a 'Costco for AI' that passes 5-10x savings to enterprises.
