What is Genosis?
Genosis is an LLM cost optimisation tool designed to reduce spending on large language model APIs without requiring changes to your application code. It sits between your application and LLM providers, analysing your traffic patterns to identify opportunities for cost savings. The tool works by learning from your actual usage over time, applying optimisations across three different layers. Because it operates content-blind, it doesn't inspect or store the text being processed, which appeals to teams with privacy concerns. The open-source SDK makes integration straightforward, and the freemium pricing model means you only pay when the tool actually saves you money.
