Hystax has announced the launch of OptScale AI, an extension of its OptScale FinOps platform designed to help enterprises govern, optimize, and secure AI usage across teams, large language models (LLMs), and AI agents. The platform addresses growing concerns around AI cost management, security risks, and operational oversight as organizations rapidly expand enterprise AI adoption.
OptScale AI extends the company’s existing FinOps platform with governance tools designed for organizations managing growing AI workloads and agent-based systems. The platform combines AI cost optimization, observability, security, and AI agent governance within a unified environment.
According to Hystax, enterprises are increasingly facing challenges tied to rising LLM operational costs, limited visibility into AI activity, and concerns around unsecured AI agents interacting with external systems.
OptScale AI introduces four integrated components aimed at improving operational control across enterprise AI environments:
The platform supports organizations operating across both local AI infrastructure and public LLM providers while helping reduce unnecessary AI spending.
Hystax says OptScale AI can reduce AI-related operational costs by up to 40% through intelligent routing and optimization of AI requests between local and external models.
The company also reported near-zero routing latency during pre-release testing, with response times remaining below 50 milliseconds while maintaining full request visibility and audit-ready logging capabilities.
Security features include proactive content filtering, personally identifiable information (PII) detection, and data loss prevention controls designed to protect sensitive enterprise data before it reaches external AI systems.
The platform additionally enables real-time monitoring of AI agent behavior, helping organizations identify anomalous activities and unauthorized access attempts as AI agents become more integrated into enterprise operations.
OptScale AI is available as both a cloud-hosted SaaS platform and an on-premises deployment, allowing enterprises to align deployment choices with internal infrastructure, compliance, and governance requirements.
"Most companies today have no idea what their employees – or their AI agents – are actually sending to external models. OptScale AI gives you full visibility and control across every interaction, without slowing anyone down," said Nick Smirnov, CEO at Hystax.
The launch reflects increasing enterprise demand for centralized AI governance solutions as organizations transition from AI experimentation to production-scale deployments involving multiple teams, models, and AI agents.
