Merge launches Workforce: IT-managed model routing to rein in AI budgets
shensi · x · 2026-08-24
Merge launched Merge for Workforce last week. The context: AI is one of the fastest-growing budget lines, yet IT has no lever on it — every employee reaches for a frontier model on every task, even ones a cheap model handles just as well. The product lets IT set routing policy per employee group, with a desktop client enforcing it, controlling AI spend without changing employee habits.
