The Problem

Your Team Is Already
Spending on AI. You're Just
Not Seeing Where.

Three realities hitting IT teams and finance leaders right now.

"

90% of employees use AI at work. 46% use tools you didn't buy. 1 in 3 keep it secret.

How It Works

From Chaos to Control
in Three Steps

Token Station runs on your own hardware. Your keys, your data, your rules.

01
Deploy on Hardware You Own

Install Token Station on your Olares Mini or any Linux server. We walk your team through the install during the pilot. No cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in.

02
Invite Your Team

Replace 20 individual API keys with one pooled gateway. Your team uses the same AI tools, routed through your single account. No workflow disruption.

03
Route, Report, Optimize

Smart routing selects the right model for each task automatically. Management gets per-user, per-department token reports. Finance can finally forecast AI spend.

Core Capabilities

Everything Enterprise AI
Governance Requires

Pooled Accounts

One Deployment, One Bill

Consolidate every employee's AI subscription into a single managed gateway. Finance gets one invoice. IT gets one control plane. Employees get the same access, or better.

  • ✓Single API key pool shared across all users
  • ✓Per-user and per-team spending limits
  • ✓Rate limiting and access control built in
  • ✓Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, and local models

Subscriptions → 1 account
100%
Data stays on-prem
Twenty individual vendor keys across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and local models converging into one Token Station gateway, which yields one account, per-user limits and one finance report

Token Usage Reports

Management Can Finally See Where the Money Goes

Who used what model, when, and how many tokens. Department-level rollups. Daily, weekly, monthly trends. The reports your CFO has been asking for since ChatGPT launched.

  • ✓Per-employee token consumption breakdown
  • ✓Model-level usage attribution (GPT-4o vs Claude vs Gemini)
  • ✓Department and team rollup views
  • ✓Exportable CSV reports for finance review
  • ✓Anomaly alerts when usage spikes unexpectedly
Token usage report: total tokens, spend, smart routing savings, spend by premium versus efficient models over 30 days, and the top teams by spend

Smart Routing

Cut Token Costs Up to 73%

Not every task needs a frontier model. Token Station's adaptive router directs simple queries to cost-efficient models and complex tasks to powerful ones, with no change to your team's workflow.

  • ✓Automatic model selection based on task complexity
  • ✓Cost/quality tradeoff tunable per department
  • ✓Fallback routing when primary models are unavailable
  • ✓Based on RouteLLM (ICLR 2025) and UniRoute (ICLR 2026) research

FAQ

Common Questions

No. Token Station is fully self-hosted on your own infrastructure: Olares Mini, your on-prem servers, or your private cloud. The gateway sits inside your network. Your prompts and responses never touch our servers. Token usage metadata (who used what, when) is also stored locally.
Minimal disruption. Employees point their AI tools at the Token Station gateway endpoint instead of directly at OpenAI or Anthropic. Most tools support custom base URLs. Setup per user takes under 5 minutes. The smart routing happens transparently, so they get the same responses, often faster and cheaper.
Token Station runs on Olares Mini (our recommended hardware: a compact personal server built for self-hosted apps) or any Linux machine with 2GB+ RAM. For teams up to 100 users, a basic server handles the load comfortably. We'll help you size during the pilot.
Token Station analyzes query complexity and routes simple tasks (summarization, basic Q&A, formatting) to smaller, cheaper models, and complex reasoning or code tasks to your preferred premium model. Based on RouteLLM (ICLR 2025) research, this achieves 2x+ cost savings with no measurable quality loss. You can tune the cost/quality balance per department or disable routing entirely.
Pilot partners keep $10 per employee per month as founder pricing for as long as the deployment stays active. Token costs sit outside that seat fee: on On-Prem they bill straight to your own vendor accounts, and on Cloud they are metered in $50 increments at published provider rates with zero markup. The 30-day pilot needs no credit card.
