Data Extraction savings routing to o1 mini

Routing data extraction (14.0B/mo) from $9.4/1M defaults to o1 mini at ~$2.4/1M yields Up to 74% at a lean quality floor. Subject to your eval suite.

Illustrative scenario, not measured customer savings. Replace the assumed usage and rates with your own, and evaluate task quality separately.

SummaryKey takeaways

What you need to know

Start with the core questions, then examine the examples and tradeoffs below.

How much can data extraction save on o1 mini?

At 14.0B/mo and a lean floor, compliant routing to o1 mini (~$2.4/1M) versus $9.4/1M defaults suggests Up to 74%. Shadow mode verifies on your traffic.

What eval floor applies?

Data Extraction uses a lean quality floor. Replay production samples; o1 mini routes only when evals pass at that bar.

How does o10 prove this?

Shadow mode mirrors traffic without changing production; enforce mode holds envelopes once CFO signs the verified delta.

FAQFrequently asked questions

Common questions

What is Data Extraction on o1 mini?

Up to 74% o10 is the control plane above gateways, aggregators, and Bedrock: complementary to access and observability layers, not a replacement for them.

What is shadow mode?

Shadow mode mirrors live inference traffic through o10 without changing production routes. For every request, o10 evaluates candidate models against your per-use-case quality floors and records which route would have been cheapest and compliant. Along with the cost delta, while the original provider still serves the response. Engineering sees proof without production risk; finance gets a verified savings figure tied to your traffic, not industry averages. Most teams run shadow for 7–14 days segmented by use case (support, RAG, code, batch) before flipping enforce mode.

What is enforce mode?

Enforce mode places o10 in the request path. On every call, o10 selects the cheapest eval-passing model within your budget envelope before the request reaches the provider. Failed eval candidates are never routed. Each enforced call writes an immutable ledger entry: model, venue, and fully loaded cost. Jurisdiction and data-residency venue controls are on the roadmap, not enforced today. Enforce without shadow proof is possible but discouraged. Shadow establishes trust with engineering and finance first.

How are savings verified?

Savings are verified against your own shadow baseline per use case, not industry averages or vendor marketing claims. o10 mirrors a week or more of production traffic, segments by workload, and compares what you actually spent versus what you would have spent on the cheapest eval-passing route at the same quality floor. Finance signs off on the delta before enforce mode flips. Gainshare pricing ties o10 fees to this verified number, so savings must be real and auditable.

What is KYI?

Know Your Inference (KYI) is a governance framework by o10 that scores inference systems across five weighted pillars: Performance (25%), Economics (25%), Integration (20%), Strategy (20%), and Risk (10%). Each pillar scores 0–100; the composite rolls into a confidence level and board-signable recommendation. KYI runs continuously in the o10 control plane, not as a one-off audit. So every routed call and eval updates the score. A composite floor of 65 triggers enforcement levers: cap, rightsizing, or sunset per policy.

Which venues does o10 support?

o10 unifies routing across per-token API gateways (unified inference gateway), OpenRouter (multi-provider aggregator), Amazon Bedrock (per-token and committed capacity), and owned or open-weight infrastructure. A single control plane sits above all venues. You do not need separate dashboards per provider. o10 selects the cheapest eval-passing route per call and holds budget envelopes. Committed Bedrock drawdown and open-weight routing are first-class venues, not afterthoughts.

How fast to go live?

Most stacks connect o10 in shadow mode within a day: point traffic through the control plane, segment by use case, and start the verified savings clock. Enforce mode follows after per-use-case eval equivalence is proven. Typically one to two weeks for enterprises with multiple workloads. No six-week gateway migration is required; o10 sits above existing gateways and clouds. KYI scoring and the immutable ledger stay live from day one in shadow.

What is a quality floor?

A quality floor is the minimum eval score a model must achieve for a specific use case before o10 routes production traffic to it. Floors are per workload. Support, RAG, code, and batch clear at different bars, and measured by replaying representative traffic through eval suites, not assumed from vendor benchmarks. Once a cheaper candidate passes the floor, o10 can route to it in shadow (proof) or enforce (live). Floors without evals are hopes; evals without floors are expensive defaults.
