Proprietary blend

Our models are purpose-built for coding tasks. We've optimized every layer for the kind of work Mulu users actually do.

Tool calling built-in

Mulu models natively support tool calling -- file edits, terminal commands, and search happen seamlessly in the agent loop.

Scales with you

From hobby projects to production apps. Use Lite for quick tasks and the flagship for complex builds -- pay only for what you need.

How Mulu stacks up

We benchmark Mulu against the top models so you don't have to wonder. Here's how our flagship model compares on real coding tasks.

The right model for every step -- automatically

Select "Mulu" and our router analyzes each subtask in real time, then picks the optimal model. Simple question? Lite handles it instantly. Complex refactor? The flagship takes over. You get the best output without thinking about it.

  • Quick fixes and questions routed to Mulu 1.5 Lite
  • Complex builds routed to Mulu 1.5 flagship
  • Planning steps use reasoning-optimized models
  • Fully transparent -- see which model handled each step

How Mulu's router decides

Our routing engine analyzes your prompt in real time -- looking at task complexity, code generation requirements, and context length to pick the optimal model for each step.

  • Pattern-based complexity analysis
  • 78% cost reduction vs always using premium models
  • 66% faster average response time
  • Zero quality loss -- smart tasks still get smart models

Why one model isn't enough

Every AI model has different strengths. Some are fast, some are cheap, some are brilliant at reasoning. Mulu gives you all of them so you always have the right tool.

Speed vs. quality tradeoff

Quick questions don't need a heavyweight model. Use fast models for iteration and premium models for the final build. You control the balance.

Different models, different strengths

Claude excels at nuanced reasoning. GPT is great for broad knowledge. Gemini handles massive contexts. Mulu optimizes for code. Use each where it shines.

No vendor lock-in

If one provider has an outage or changes pricing, you switch to another in one click. Your projects aren't dependent on any single AI company.

Change models mid-conversation

Start with one model and switch to another without losing context. Your full conversation history carries over seamlessly -- just click and keep going.

  • Switch models without restarting
  • Full context preserved across switches
  • Keyboard shortcut for instant access

Run the same prompt on multiple models

Not sure which model is best? Run your prompt on two or more models side by side and compare the results before choosing one to apply.

  • Side-by-side output comparison
  • Pick the best response and apply it
  • Compare speed, quality, and cost at a glance

16 models. One app.

From ultra-cheap quick tasks to maximum-quality flagship builds, we have a model for every scenario. Switch between them anytime.

Why start with Mulu

Our models are designed specifically for the kind of coding work you do in Mulu. Here's why most users stick with them as their default.

Top-tier results, bottom-tier price

Mulu 1.5 scores 77.8% on SWE-bench Verified -- matching models that cost 4-20x more per token. You get the same code quality for a fraction of the cost.

Built for coding, not chatting

Unlike general-purpose models, Mulu is optimized for the coding workflow -- tool calling, file edits, terminal commands, and multi-step agent loops. It's not trying to write poetry.

Always a fallback

If you ever want a different perspective, Claude, GPT, and Gemini are one click away. You're never locked in. Use Mulu as default, switch when you want.
