AI costs, cut to the bone.
Every single time.
Yielding Bear routes every LLM request to the most efficient model automatically — fast models for simple tasks, high-reasoning models for complex work. One API. Every model. Drop into your existing stack — no refactoring required.
The hidden inefficiency in every AI stack
Most AI teams route every request through their flagship model — including the simple tasks that don't actually need that level of reasoning. Summarizing an email, translating a paragraph, or formatting a response gets routed to a $3-15/1M model. That's a meaningful premium on tasks that often get the same quality output from a $0.04-0.10/1M model in a fraction of the time.

Yielding Bear Fixes This
Every request is analyzed by our routing layer — lightweight tasks go to fast, low-cost models (Llama 3B, DeepSeek V3 at <$0.07/1M). Complex reasoning goes to Claude 70B or Grizzly 1.0. You pay for exactly what each task needs.

Every prompt is analyzed and sent to the right model — automatically.

For OpenClaw & Hermes Agents
Run every OpenClaw or Hermes agent on auto-pilot routing
OpenClaw and Hermes agents make hundreds of LLM calls per day. Every summarization, every code review, every reasoning task — all routed through Yielding Bear's unified API by default. One API key. Every model. Every agent. Zero refactoring required.
Install the skill
Run install yieldingbear to add the Yielding Bear unified API to any OpenClaw or Hermes agent session instantly.
Set your API key
Add YIELDINGBEAR_API_KEY to your environment. Every agent session uses Yielding Bear's routing automatically.
Save on every call
Agents route simple tasks to Llama 3B ($0.04/1M) and complex ones to Claude 70B only when needed. No changes to agent prompts required.
Real-world agent setups using Yielding Bear routing
OpenClaw agents
Discord ops, mobile builds, customer support
Drop the Yielding Bear skill into any OpenClaw session and every LLM call — Discord replies, build logs, customer support answers, code reviews — gets routed through the unified API automatically. One env var, every model, zero agent refactoring.
Hermes agents
Deep research, multi-step investigations, code gen
Point any Hermes agent at the Yielding Bear unified endpoint and long-running research, multi-step reasoning, and engineering work all hit the most efficient model automatically. No per-call model selection, no per-prompt prompt engineering — Yielding Bear routes simple lookups to Llama 3B and reserves Claude/GPT-4o for the hard parts.

Common questions
How does Yielding Bear work?
Our unified API sits in front of 50+ models and routes each request to the most efficient model for the task. For simple tasks like summarization, it routes to a fast, low-cost model like Llama 3B. For complex reasoning, it routes to a high-reasoning model like Claude 70B. You pay one bill — we handle the routing.
What is a Custom Bundle?
Custom Bundles are pre-configured LLM packages built for specific industries — currently Coding, Creative, and Finance. Each bundle includes fine-tuned prompts, guardrails, and routing logic optimized for that industry's use cases. No setup required. More verticals coming soon — reach out if you'd like to see your industry next.
Do I need to manage multiple API keys?
No. One API key from Yielding Bear connects you to all providers. We handle provider credentials, rate limits, retries, and failover automatically.
What are guardrails?
Guardrails are built-in content filters and safety checks on every Yielding Bear model. They prevent prompt injection, PII leakage, and harmful outputs — without adding latency or extra cost.
How is this different from using a single provider?
Single providers like OpenAI charge $0.15-$3.00/1M tokens. Yielding Bear routes the same tasks to models costing $0.02-$0.12/1M when appropriate. Try the what-if calculator above to see the difference at your scale.
