Hybrid model strategy
Every task goes to the model it deserves: CompactifAI for day-to-day work, Frontier for what is critical.
Scaling agents and long contexts drives spend up. The way out is routing every task to the right model and watching every token.
At Plain Concepts we have watched clients quintuple their AI spend the moment these uses go from a couple of teams to the whole organisation. And you rarely need a Frontier model to handle most of those tasks.
Once code generation, documentation, testing and chained automations are in play, consumption stops being a small line in the budget. The question is no longer whether to use AI, but on what criteria. With no routing, no token control and no FinOps, spend gets away from you before you see it coming.

Administration, monitoring, traceability and cost per workflow, all in a single dashboard.
On the Multiverse API, in your cloud or on your own infrastructure. Running entirely in Europe.
Most day-to-day work, such as refactors, tests, documentation and routine changes, can be handled by Multiverse Computing’s compressed models at a fraction of the cost, without reaching for a Frontier model every time. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and the rest are kept for the work that actually needs them.
The idea, in one sentence: 8 out of 10 tasks are handled by the compressed model, and the Frontier model only steps in when it genuinely pays off.
The bulk of the work. Compressed models, fast and cheap.
Only the critical tasks that justify the cost.
Estimated annual cost for a workload of around 5 billion tokens a month (3B input and 2B output) based on public list prices.
Multiverse Computing’s models are built for regulated environments and for different deployment strategies. We can run them entirely in Europe, so your data never leaves the region. More context on the framework at EU AI Act.
Plain Concepts implements and runs the layer that governs all of this. And we are customer zero: everything on this page is already in use inside Plain Concepts, across more than 700 developers, to cut our own AI bill. No theory: FinOps applied to real usage.
Centralise models, permissions, policies and provisioning in one place.
Live consumption by team, tool and workflow. You see who spends and on what.
Which model answered, on which task and with what result. Every call, logged.
Drill down into spend by model, use case and consumption pattern.
We look at your current consumption, compare approaches and show you the platform in action. If you need to align the conversation internally, take the one-pager to your decision-makers.
