AI21 Labs
API service
A drop-in endpoint that sits in front of an agent's model calls and cuts token spend — adaptive routing, context compaction, trajectory-aware savings decisions and caching — while validating output quality against coding benchmarks.
Model API
Hosted developer platform providing API/SDK access to AI21's Jamba foundation models with metered token pricing, a playground, file library, and web/file search tools.
Decart
API service
Interactive world model for Physical AI, generating realistic, controllable real-time simulation environments for training autonomous systems, distributed as an API/SDK product built on Decart's Optimization Stack (DOS) infrastructure.
Model API
Cogito is Decart's OpenAI-compatible LLM inference API, serving frontier open-weight models including Kimi K2.6, Kimi K2.7 Code, GLM-5.2, Qwen3 235B and GPT-OSS 120B across Trainium, TPU and GPU capacity. A self-serve Standard tier is billed per token, while an ultra-fast reserved tier advertises 1,000+ tokens per second. It is built on Decart's own DOS optimization stack.
No counterpart
AI21 Labs sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Decart yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
Planning system that runs multi-step tasks against a company's own data and validates the output against stated requirements.
Data service
A dedicated model-customization service in which AI21 trains specialized models on a client's own data, with methodology transfer so the client can run subsequent training rounds in-house.

Application
Delulu is Decart's consumer mobile app for AI photo transformation, published on iOS and Android by Decart.AI, Inc. Its store listing describes it as a way to 'Turn any photo into something fun, weird, or just really good-looking, with a single tap', browsing preset styles and creating stickers to share.
Real-time video editing platform that edits and transforms live video at streaming speed, for enterprises, brands, creators and live/streaming/gaming use cases; built on Decart's DOS infrastructure.
Infrastructure service
The Decart Optimization Stack (DOS) is Decart's inference and training optimization infrastructure, spanning hardware-aware model design, kernel tooling, proprietary compilers and inference optimization. It is sold to hardware providers and AI teams as engagements covering benchmark optimization, customer-defined kernel and compiler work, cross-workload efficiency gains, and profiler and simulator licensing, and is marketed as hardware-agnostic across GPUs, TPUs, Trainium and AMD accelerators.
