Zerve, the agent-driven operating system for Data & AI teams, announced a partnership with Arcee AI, a language model builder to bring model optimization and automation capabilities to the Zerve platform, enabling data science and AI professionals to build faster, smarter, and more efficient AI workflows at scale. Through the new partnership and integration, Zerve and Arcee AI enable users to automate AI model selection within their existing workflows using an OpenAI-compatible API, without incurring infrastructure overhead. Arcee Conductor enhances AI pipeline efficiency for users by intelligently selecting between SLMs and LLMs based on input complexity, cost, domain relevance, and other variables. This collaboration allows data science and AI engineering teams to: Optimize model usage by routing tasks to the most appropriate model, improving accuracy and runtime performance; Enhance automation by combining Conductor’s routing with the Zerve Agent’s dynamic workflow control; Maintain seamless integration through plug-and-play compatibility with existing Zerve environments; Cut costs by deploying lightweight, lower-cost models where applicable.
