Base42 is an enterprise-grade, cost-aware AI Operating System designed specifically to solve the hardest problem in modern AI deployment: extreme token bloat. Most orchestration frameworks mindlessly route every user prompt to an expensive, proprietary LLM. Base42 rejects this anti- pattern. Operating entirely within a strict 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU environment, Base42 deploys a dynamic, mathematically weighted Three-Tier Execution Cascade. When a task enters the system, a zero-cost deterministic router analyzes its complexity. Basic factual queries, simple summarizations, and entity extraction tasks are forcefully trapped and resolved by a highly compressed Local Inference Engine (Gemma-2B), completely shielding the premium API from wasteful traffic. To protect against local hallucinations, Base42 features a proprietary Zero-Token Confidence Engine. This heuristic layer intercepts the local model's output before it reaches the user, scanning for structural failures, n-gram looping, and multi-lingual hedging. If the local model hallucinates, the Confidence Engine safely discards the output and triggers a highly optimized, serverless failover to the DeepSeek-V4 Fireworks API—deploying premium reasoning power only when mathematically justified. In rigorous stress-testing against 1,000 highly complex evaluation tasks, this hybrid routing architecture delivered an 85.3% reduction in proprietary Fireworks API token consumption while achieving 100% mathematical accuracy via its pure-Python AST Sandbox. Base42 proves that you don't need to sacrifice reasoning capability to achieve extreme cost-efficiency.
