Refinery
For developers. The LLM routing platform — pre-trained and Custom Routers, prompt optimization, agent optimization, Node and Python SDKs, REST API.
Foundry
For everyone. The chat at chat.ironlabs.ai — Image / Video / 3D modes, Sources, Connectors, Skills, Scheduled Tasks, Memory.
What’s the difference?
- Refinery is the platform. You install an SDK, call the API, and IronLabs routes your prompts intelligently across providers — with Custom Routers trained on your data, prompt optimization, and agent optimization built in.
- Foundry is the product on top of that platform. You open a chat, type, get a routed reply, and the model decision is shown right under the answer.
If you want a smart chat to use → Foundry.
