Stopping runaway LLM bills — runtime enforcement for API calls

Stopping runaway LLM bills — runtime enforcement for API calls targets a $12.0B = 100,000 engineering orgs x $120K ACV (enterprise AI cost & runtime orchestration) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 40%+ — AI infrastructure & observability spending rising rapidly with LLM adoption.

Key trends driving demand: Explosion of LLM APIs -- more teams are embedding multi-model stacks and calling external APIs, making cost unpredictable and high-impact.; Model choice fragmentation -- many models with different latency/cost/quality tradeoffs creates need for dynamic routing and cost-aware selection.; Policy-as-code and runtime controls -- teams are already adopting policy engines for security, making analogous enforcement for cost natural and adoptable.; Observability converging with control -- customers expect not just metrics but automated remediation (throttles, fallbacks, routing)..
