TokenTuner: AI Cost Optimizer

Engineers building human‑out‑of‑loop workflows are forced to downgrade models or impose strict time gates to keep token usage within budget, leading to sub‑optimal performance and higher overall cost. TokenTuner automatically balances model quality, token consumption, and time constraints, switching models on‑the‑fly and alerting teams in real time so they can maintain performance without overspending.
