Frequently asked questions

How do I integrate?

Change the OpenAI SDK base URL to https://api.varion.tech/v1 and use a Varion API key.

Is 29.91% guaranteed?

No. It is the result of one verified test. Savings vary and customers should test their own workloads.

Who pays OpenAI?

The customer uses its own OpenAI key and pays OpenAI directly.

What does Varion charge?

The standard fee is 20% of measured net savings, deducted from prepaid Varion credits.

Do you store prompts?

Normal request logs store metadata, not prompt or generated-answer content. Test results store metrics only.

Can Varion make an answer worse?

Any context reduction has risk. Varion preserves critical instructions, tests strategies and can use passthrough when unverified.

Which provider is supported at launch?

The commercial launch focuses on OpenAI-compatible traffic.
