Superlinked Inference Engine (SIE)

Superlinked's page presents SIE as a way to cut AI costs by using models built for specific tasks instead of frontier models. Users find a model that meets a quality target, then call the SIE API or run the models in their own cloud. The page offers three deployment options: SIE Serverless (pay per call with usage-based pricing and no GPUs to run), Native Inference (SIE Cluster in the customer's own cloud, with Superlinked engineers helping evaluate models and operate the deployment), and SIE Local (an open-source Apache-2.0 server for a laptop or GPU VM). The page cites SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, US or EU data options for Serverless, 142 models, 9 integrations, and comparative benchmark claims against Cohere, OpenAI, Mistral OCR, GPT-Transcribe, Claude Sonnet 5.5, and Voyage. Testimonials from Chroma, LanceDB, Qdrant, and Weaviate are quoted on the page.
