> The agent operating layer. Alpha gives engineering teams control over AI
> agent run cost, reliability, and the intelligence their agents generate —
> across any model provider — so every run compounds into an asset they own.

## What it is
thealpha.ai (Alpha) is an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible AI gateway and
control plane for teams running LLM agents in production. Point your baseURL
at Alpha (BYOK — bring your own provider keys) and every agent call is routed,
budgeted, guardrailed, traced, and recorded from one place you control.

## Who it's for
- CTOs — attribute and cap agent spend; sovereign/self-hosted deployment.
- VP Engineering — run-level observability, guardrails, experiments; ship
  agents that survive production.
- Heads of AI — a compounding memory + fine-tuning layer whose output stays
  yours and portable.

## How it works
- Integration: OpenAI-compatible endpoint at https://api.thealpha.ai/v1 (also
  Anthropic-compatible at /v1/messages). Authenticate with an Alpha gateway
  key; add your provider keys once in the dashboard (stored server-side,
  isolated per workspace, scoped per agent). Alpha never marks up model costs.
- Capabilities: multi-provider routing, budgets per agent, guardrails (PII /
  prompt-injection / toxicity), observability & tracing, RAG / knowledge base,
  memory, fine-tuning, experiments, prompts / skills / MCP tools, NIST AI RMF
  compliance, RBAC & workspaces.
- Deployment: cloud, hybrid, or fully self-hosted / sovereign.

## Arena (free, no signup)
A cost-revelation tool: paste a prompt or upload a trace and see what your
agents cost and what you'd save — in about three minutes, no credentials.

## Pricing
Priced by number of agents, always BYOK. Basic, Professional, and Enterprise
(sovereign / self-hosted) tiers.
