When It's Built Around Compass

Compass doesn't just reduce GPU costs at the software layer. At scale, it reshapes the physical infrastructure — smaller GPU clusters, lower facility power, and a fraction of the capital expenditure.

Intelligent Query Routing
Compass sits in front of every query. High-confidence queries resolve on CPU — no GPU touched. Only queries that genuinely require generative inference reach the GPU cluster.

Hybrid Data Center Floor Plan
A facility designed around Compass has two distinct compute zones. The CPU cluster handles the majority of workload at a fraction of the power. The GPU cluster is sized only for what CPU cannot resolve.

Patent reference: Figure 4 (Hybrid Data Center Floor Plan) and Figure 5 (Energy Comparison) from U.S. Provisional No. 63/978,633. Current validated performance: 25% GPU cost reduction at threshold=0.70. Infrastructure figures reflect projected performance at mature corpus scale (70%+ CPU routing). All detection and routing methods patent pending.
