前 Datadog 員工創立 Niteshift 獲 700 萬美元融資，致力打破 AI 大模型鎖定
前 datadog 工程師籌集 700 萬美元發布 niteshift，這是一個 ai 編碼基礎設施平台，通過在模型間路由來防止供應商鎖定，因為前沿實驗室正擴張至垂直軟件領域。
niteshift, founded by former datadog engineers sajid mehmood and conor branagan, raised a $7m seed round led by greylock to build infrastructure that routes between various coding models. unlike competitors like cursor or cognition, niteshift charges for infrastructure rather than tokens, positioning itself as an 'unbundled' layer for coding agents. this addresses growing enterprise concerns about 'saaSpocalypse,' where frontier labs like openai and anthropic release tools that compete directly with their customers. investors, including reid hoffman and datadog founders, back the strategy based on the team's experience scaling multi-cloud monitoring. the startup faces a crowded market against well-funded rivals betting that enterprises will prioritize independence from single model vendors.
