Closed vs. open-weight models: When to migrate

Not every call to a closed API needs a frontier model. This guide covers when to move routine work to open-weight models, based on your costs, your task mix, and the control you need over the model.

How to increase LLM inference throughput without breaking your latency budget

Learn how to measure goodput, tune batching and KV cache in vLLM, and decide when another GPU will help, all without breaking your latency SLOs.

Reduce coding-agent costs with OpenCode and Parasail

Connect OpenCode to an open model on Parasail and run it against your frontier default on a real bug. Here's what the fixes cost and what it took to get one you'd ship.

How to reduce LLM latency in production: Diagnose before you tune

Diagnose LLM latency before you tune it. Split TTFT, TPOT and end-to-end latency, map them to eight stages, and find which one owns your slowdown.

10 best open-weight AI inference providers for startups

How to pick an open-weight inference provider before you can forecast your traffic: criteria to test, and how 10 providers compare on billing, commitments and risk.

How Reflow AI lowered inference costs for document ingestion and OCR by 70% with Parasail

Reflow AI moved document ingestion and OCR to Parasail's Elastic Endpoints, eliminating idle GPU cost and cutting inference spend by 70%.

Kimi K3 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol: Performance, cost, and tradeoffs

Compare Kimi K3 and GPT-5.6 Sol on performance, pricing, context, weights, architecture, and deployment tradeoffs.

How Parasail built one AI agent for inference operations

The hard part wasn’t putting an AI agent in Slack. It was embedding trusted sources, reviewed calculations, and safe inference-operations workflows.

Building sub-second LLM inference for global AI traffic

A fast model isn’t a fast API. We worked backward from a 600ms p99 budget with Cloudflare Workers at the edge and WireGuard to the GPU.
