Not Diamond
Intelligent model routing for coding agents, designed to fit existing harnesses and gateways.
About Not Diamond
Not Diamond is an intelligent model router built for coding-agent workloads. It evaluates each step in a session and recommends a model and reasoning effort from the available pool, using signals such as payload semantics, cache state, prior turns, sub-agent structure, compaction events, and session outcomes. The router integrates with an existing agent harness and gateway instead of replacing the gateway. It suits engineering teams that want to control inference spend without defaulting every task to the most expensive model. The pay-as-you-go rate is $0.05 per million tokens routed, while enterprise pricing is customized and includes volume discounts, organization-wide analytics, security and admin controls, SAML SSO, SLAs, and around-the-clock support. Routing adds an average 100–200 ms per step. Privacy-preserving mode bases decisions on derived request characteristics and locally computed features rather than payloads, inputs, or outputs. The service is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant. It works with multiple coding-agent harnesses, including Claude Code, and continuously learns from usage feedback and session results. The tradeoff is straightforward: teams add a routing dependency and some latency in exchange for model selection tuned to cost and quality.
Best for
Best use cases
A coding-agent session needs a model recommendation for each step based on cost and quality objectives.
Inference spending is rising because every request defaults to the strongest and most expensive model.
An existing harness and gateway need intelligent routing without replacing the current access layer.
Compare before choosing
Unlike an AI gateway, Not Diamond recommends a model while the existing gateway manages access.
Pay-as-you-go pricing charges a fixed routing fee instead of bundling the underlying model usage.
Privacy-preserving routing can make decisions from derived request characteristics and locally computed features without reading payloads.
Features
Route coding-agent steps
Select a model and reasoning effort for each step in a long-running coding-agent session.
Reduce inference spend
Move suitable requests away from a default frontier model while preserving a defined quality objective.
Add routing to existing infrastructure
Integrate intelligent model selection with an existing agent harness and AI gateway.
Pros
- The $0.05 per million routed tokens rate gives small teams a clear routing cost.
- It integrates with existing harnesses and gateways, reducing infrastructure replacement work.
- Privacy-preserving routing avoids sending payloads, inputs, or outputs to the routing service.
Cons
- Each routing recommendation adds an average 100–200 milliseconds to an agent step.
- The service becomes another dependency in the coding-agent execution path.
- Enterprise pricing requires a sales conversation, so its total cost is not immediately calculable.
