Introducing Merge Gateway - Build Your Own Router. You're three sprints into your coding assistant. You pick the most hyped model, integrate, test, deploy. A month later, a new model drops. Now you re-test, re-integrate, re-deploy. Your product didn't change, but the benchmark did. That's how most AI teams operate. Chasing a "best" defined by people who've never seen their product. There is no best model. There's only the right one for your product, users, and use-cases. Build Your Own Router runs on your definition of good. Pick your benchmarks, weigh them, add your own evals. @merge_api routes every request to your winner. 👉$100 in credits to the first 200 people that comment http://merge.dev/gateway
