Understudy Labs

Understudy Labs (YC S26) is an LLM gateway and model-optimization platform that helps teams move repeated production LLM workloads onto open-weight models they own. The Understudy gateway is a drop-in replacement for the Anthropic and OpenAI API endpoints that captures request/response traces by project and workload, routes measured slices of traffic to managed open models, and falls back safely.
