Route across frontier and open models. Lower cost, stronger control, no lock-in.
Northwood deploys its open-source router and operates the production system around it, sending each workload to the right model on approved providers or your own infrastructure. The routing policy, cost ledger, and deployment path stay portable and inspectable.
Own your AI infrastructure, and the cost curve that comes with it.
Your AI usage is growing and so is the bill. Northwood helps you run the best open models on infrastructure you own, tuned for utilization and cost per token, portable across models and hardware. Then we build the knowledge and workflow layer on top. Pure-software teams and hardware companies alike keep their code, firmware, designs, customer context, and internal knowledge in their own environment.
Open-source infrastructure, operated for production.
Find where the money goes
Northwood-built analysis tools map spend, models, latency, errors, cache behavior, and routing evidence so your team can distinguish expensive workloads from one blended bill.
Test against your workloads
Northwood compares current and candidate models on representative cases using your quality, latency, reliability, tool-use, and security requirements.
Put the approved route into production
Northwood deploys its open-source control layer, connects approved providers or customer compute, encodes the accepted model policy, and introduces the route through a staged rollout.
Keep the economics honest
Northwood monitors cost, route behavior, provider reliability, and model changes after launch. The open-source control layer keeps the resulting evidence available to your team.
Common workflows
Your workloads. Your models. Your cost curve. Start with one.
Northwood builds the open-source infrastructure and operates the production system around it. Start with one workload, evaluate the available model and deployment options, and expand when the quality and economics hold.
