Sovereign SLMs and video models for enterprises.
The future is in your hands.
Backed by a16z speedrun.
Distill
Turn big models into small ones you own: LLMs into task- and domain-specific SLMs, and video models into faster, cheaper ones — with better accuracy at a fraction of the cost.
Gateway
Route your LLM calls through 15+ different optimisations to cut their cost, while respecting your quality and latency needs.
Zorbe is an AI lab. We build sovereign models for enterprises: we take the large models a company depends on, turn them into small ones it owns, for language and for video, and cut the cost of every model call it makes along the way.
Renting intelligence is not a strategy
Almost every company running AI today is renting it. Its most valuable work is sent to a handful of frontier labs, priced by the token, on infrastructure it does not control. The bill grows with adoption, the dependency deepens with every prompt, and the understanding of how that company actually works accumulates somewhere other than the company. This is a reasonable way to begin. It is a poor place to end up.
The fastest way in is the bill
Our gateway replaces the endpoint you already call. It routes each request through more than fifteen optimisations, among them model routing, caching, prompt compression, and quality checks, and cuts model spend by 30% to 90%. Your prompts, your SDKs, and your agents stay exactly as they are. The change is one line of configuration, and the saving shows up in the first week.
Your traffic is the map
Sitting in front of your calls reveals something no consultant can produce: what your company actually does. Which tasks repeat, which answers matter, and where your real quality bar sits. That is precisely the signal needed to train a smaller model that is good at your work rather than good at everything.
Then the model becomes yours
We distill the frontier models you depend on into small ones trained on your own data, task-specific and domain-specific, for language and now for video. They answer faster, they cost a fraction, and they belong to you permanently. You decide where they run and who can reach them.
Quality is proven, not promised
Every optimisation and every distilled model is checked by our judge model before it reaches production, and a cheaper path ships only once it clears the bar you set. A saving you cannot verify is not a saving.
The advantage compounds
The frontier will keep improving, and everyone will have access to it. What will not be evenly distributed is ownership. The companies that own the models running their business will compound an advantage that the companies renting them cannot.
