Tycho 1.0

When the task is clear, the volume is high, and every token matters.

High-Efficiency Scale

Best For:
1

Classification and 
routing

Ticket triage, intent detection, document labeling, workflow decisioning at scale

2

Extraction and summarization

Structured fields from emails, PDFs, contracts, call transcripts, and support logs

3

Support automation

Draft responses, escalate edge cases, reduce repetitive queue volume

Significant savings with prompt caching (up to 90%) on repeated prompts.

Equivilancy

Comparable to Anthropic Haiku 4.5 and GPT-5.4 Mini

Primary use cases

Classification

Route tickets, label documents, triage inbound requests, and identify intent at scale.

Extraction

Pull structured fields from emails, PDFs, contracts, support logs, and operational records.

Summarization

Summarize calls, cases, messages, documents, and workflow events.

Routing

Decide which workflow, tool, team, or model should handle a request.

Support automation

Draft responses, classify intent, escalate edge cases, and reduce repetitive queue volume.

Lightweight agents

Execute simple tool-based workflows with predictable structure.

Cost-sensitive RAG

Retrieve and answer over internal knowledge where request volume is high.

Key capabilities

1

Lower cost for high-volume AI

Tycho is designed for the workloads where token volume becomes material: support, document processing, internal automation, enrichment, and product features used every day by thousands or millions of users.

2

Fast enough for production interfaces

Use Tycho where users expect responsiveness: chat flows, support tools, workflow assistants, classification systems, and inline application features.

3

Simple to deploy

Tycho is exposed through the same Radium API layer as Clarke and Hal, making it easy to route workloads by cost, latency, or complexity without changing application architecture.

4

Enterprise-ready by default

Tycho runs behind Radium's enterprise delivery layer, with controls for authentication, logging, monitoring, routing, governance, and deployment isolation.

?

For teams using Haiku or GPT mini-class models.

Tycho is designed for teams that need a fast, economical model for scaled production usage. If your current workload depends on Claude Haiku, OpenAI mini/nano-class models, or earlier small-model endpoints, Tycho is the Radium model to evaluate first.

Replace high-volume Claude and OpenAI workloads with Tycho.

Start with your highest-volume API calls. Move them to Tycho. Measure cost, latency, and quality. Scale from there.
