AI21 Labs

AI Systems Built for the Enterprise

Visit AI21 Labs

AI21 develops enterprise AI systems and foundation models for organizations that need reliable AI in critical workflows. Its Intelligent Gateway is a drop-in endpoint that routes, caches, and compacts agent traffic to reduce token cost and waste, while Post-Training builds intelligence on a company's own data. The company also offers Harness Optimization, which searches configurations against private evaluations, and Dedicated Model, which tunes small open models to match frontier quality on specific workloads.

The platform includes Foundation Model APIs and SDKs, with Jamba Mini and Jamba Large models available for instruction and chat use. Pricing is usage-based with unlimited seats, and a free trial provides credits without requiring a credit card. A Custom Plan adds volume discounts, premium API rate limits, private cloud hosting, priority support, a dedicated account manager, and expert AI consultancy. AI21 also maintains a vulnerability disclosure program for security researchers.
