Manifest is a smart model routing tool designed specifically for AI agents. Its core objective is highly pragmatic: helping developers save money. By intelligently routing requests across different LLMs, it aims to significantly reduce API costs.
This direction is gaining traction because as agents become more complex, their background token consumption can easily spiral out of control. The hard part is not simply forwarding requests to the cheapest model, but dynamically selecting the most cost-effective option without sacrificing output quality. Manifest combines cost tracking with observability features, attempting to provide a granular cost-control valve for applications that heavily rely on LLMs.
