Your AI contracts need more than a spreadsheet.

Negotiate, manage, and forecast your compute across every cloud, neocloud, and inference provider with confidence.

AI spend is your fastest-growing cost and the hardest one to manage.
We change that.

Understand what you’re spending

Track all your consumption and commitments across every provider.

Forecast with confidence

Scenario-model your AI and cloud usage against real pricing, and know exactly when a commitment or renegotiation makes sense.

Negotiate with strength

The commitment tracking, invoice validation, and benchmark data you need to negotiate with confidence.

Compute is complex. Managing it doesn’t have to be.

The only compute financial planning platform that is contract-aware. Skyway accounts for the specifics of your contract alongside your actual consumption, enabling you to make commitment decisions with confidence.

Manage every technology provider that matters

Evolve from outdated, siloed spreadsheets to always-on data feeds for your model labs, inference APIs, neoclouds, coding assistants, and hyperscalers.

Stop wondering if your contract is competitive

We maintain the market’s pricing data, benchmark your deal against it, and hand you your next move.

Catch the discrepancies before they cost you

Misapplied discounts, billing errors, credits that never landed. We check every invoice against your contract and hand you the evidence to recover what you’re owed.

What sets us apart

Built for companies signing the largest commitments in tech history

We’ve negotiated tens of billions in cloud and AI contracts, where your biggest, most complex commitments live.

All our customers keep saying, “I’ve never seen anything like this”

The largest commitments in tech history have changed the game and new approaches are needed. Model your infrastructure contracts and consumption together, across every provider that matters.

We provide context on public rates and visibility into the private reality

Anyone can scrape a price list. We pair public pricing with proprietary benchmark data, then tie it to your actual consumption and contracts to decipher what your rates mean for you.

We have the platform and the expertise

Purpose-built software handles data complexity while seasoned practitioners make critical judgment calls — the only combination that solves contract chaos.

The OpenAI Polycule Moves In Together

For fourteen years, I had a rotten little chihuahua named Ethel, who was a malevolent scheming weasel.

Today, the OpenAI polycule put out a whole swath of press […]

FinOps Is Solving the Wrong Problem

We’ve long been known for our hot takes on cloud at Duckbill, and here’s the hottest one: the cloud isn’t expensive. “Expensive” implies a judgment, a comparison.
