Alterion claims 10–15x cheaper agent control

Alterion says Helix makes agent-governance decisions 10–15x more cost-effective than general-purpose models at the same latency. In its launch release, the company says a network of specialized small language models, graph intelligence, and persistent memory runs inside the customer’s environment and feeds Draco’s runtime controls; the benchmark is early and vendor-reported. Operators can file the claim as a control-plane cost signal, then compare it with AISI’s 8.2% out-of-scope evaluation rate before replacing existing safeguards.
