Most teams building AI products end up stitching together the same stack: routing logic, fallback rules, cost guardrails, audit logs, etc. We’ve seen this before. We started @merge_api to solve this with product integrations. Today, we're shipping the fix for LLMs with Merge Gateway.

Most integration rollouts stall before the first API call. Not on the API's side... on setup decisions, architecture choices, and edge case handling. 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 solves that. Pre-built implementation recipes that take your team from zero to working integration without guesswork. Opinionated, maintained, and built to work across your coding tools.

Today we're launching Merge for Private Equity. A dedicated program for rolling out AI cost savings across an entire portfolio. Special discounts up front, with pricing that gets better the more portcos come online. Why now: AI spend is ballooning at every company and almost nobody has controls on it. Every workload hardcoded to a frontier model. No routing, no budgets, no caps, no visibility. It's cloud spend in 2015 all over again. If you're at a PE firm or know someone, would love to chat!

Thanks to AI, every captcha is now like:

I’m Post Malone the second I hop out of this Uber

@camidarling @sourceryy @MollySOShea wow you know the way straight to my heart

Floor seats! Thanks for the great conversation on @Sourceryy last week @MollySOShea :) x.com/merge_api/stat…

I've taken the last two products at Merge from 0→1. Nothing matters more in that phase than your first customers. The ones who give you raw feedback, push you through every edge case, and help you build something that actually works. @trywindmill was one of those customers for Gateway. They migrated from OpenRouter in a single PR and are now saving over $10K/month on LLM spend. Their engineer put it plainly: "Merge Gateway offers better LLM routing, cost control, and observability than OpenRouter." What they're running: - Intelligent routing across Claude Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, Kimi K2.5, and GLM-5 - Spend caps and alerts so finance stops getting surprised - Centralized governance and request-level logs Seeing a customer go from launch to scaling and saving real money. That's the most rewarding part of building. I recommend checking out how Windmill took a bet on us and started seeing the dividends immediately: merge.dev/case-studies/w…

Merge Gateway is coming to the AWS Marketplace! honestly, going to market with @AWS_Partners has been one of the best GTM bets we've made at Merge. Deals close faster and customers tap existing AWS commit. So we're bringing Gateway there too full Bedrock model support, plus routing, cost optimization, and security on top special offer dropping at launch, stay tuned! 👀

DeepSeek V4 Pro is available on Merge Gateway. @deepseek_ai's open-weight MoE model activates just 49B of its 1.6T parameters per token, making it one of the most cost-efficient frontier models available. Route to it through Gateway with zero data retention on by default. Frontier-level reasoning at a fraction of the compute cost, with prompts and outputs never stored by the provider.

Merge Agent Handler went from zero to enterprise-ready in 6 months. Most of it was vibe coded... But not in the way you might think. Co-founder and CEO @shensi gives us a peak under the hood on what building with AI actually looks like. ↓

What does an AI-native website actually look like in practice? @merge_api's site is the perfect example. It's not just polished, it’s built to move at the same speed as their product. New pages spin up fast, messaging evolves in real time, and experiments don’t wait on dev cycles. Dive deeper into how they’re doing it 👇 wfl.io/3OTREMQ

Some wonderful external validation for what we already know to be true: the team at Merge is exceptional. Proud to be featured on Paraform's Talent Density Index. Join us. → #opportunities" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">merge.dev/careers#opport…

@thogge Congrats Tyler! Excited to see what's next

[some quick news]: After 3 of my favorite years at Pelion, it’s time for me to run at a new challenge. I’m incredibly grateful to my partners and lifelong friends for the opportunity to join Pelion after Divvy was acquired. It’s a special firm, and I’m excited to stay close with everyone. I’m equally grateful to every founder with whom I’ve had the privilege to partner. The best part of this job is picking your friends and doing everything you can to help them win. Another thing I’ve learned over the last 3 years: I love this job. I truly believe it’s the best job on earth. It’s what I’m meant to do. I also believe the best way to manage a career is to only take on something new - and leave something truly great - if it has the potential to make everything you’ve done before look like a footnote. Excited to share more soon! LFG.

We don't always have 5 birthdays in 5 days between 5 people who sit in a row. But when we do? My mom sends us shirts lol. Someone teach her what "debugged" means please

You can't build production agents without a multi-model ecosystem: model routing, cost management, and governance included. OpenAI models finally landing on AWS Bedrock proves it: users want access to the best models without rebuilding their infrastructure. That's exactly what we built Merge Gateway to solve. One Unified API to offer all models from folks like OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Google, and more.
