AI's missing layers - owned by the engineers improving them

Our first model is a task router for multi-model coding harnesses. Integrate it and earn a stake every time your decisions improve it.

What you capture when you integrate.

A position in the router

Every meaningful routing improvement your data produces mints tokens to you. Hold them, or redeem for USDC anytime.

Lower inference cost

A smarter router picks the right model for the task. You spend less on inference before counting any rewards.

Configurable value share

Decide at integration whether to keep token flow, pass it through to your users, or split. Make Hokusai your monetization layer or your user-acquisition feature.

Compounding ownership

Your early contributions keep paying as more harnesses route through the same model. You're not selling data; you're buying into an asset.

Inside a routing decision

Incoming task

Refactor auth middleware to support scoped API keys
high priority

Refactor the existing auth middleware so API keys can be restricted to specific scopes and routes. Requirements: - Keep the current middleware entrypoint stable for integrators. - Enforce scope checks before request handlers run. - Preserve existing admin flows while tightening least-privilege defaults. - Add tests covering missing scope, partial scope, and valid scope paths. - Document any new assumptions in code comments near the policy boundary.

Find the most similar tasks that succeeded within the budget constraints

Historical outcomes with similar task packets are scored against the current budget and evaluation envelope, then narrowed to the route most likely to hold up end to end.

Coding / Multi-Model Routing

Coding Task Router

The first decision layer built on the Hokusai protocol, turning real coding tasks into a shared router that learns, compounds, and pays contributors back.

Integration

Drop-in middleware.

Route tasks through Hokusai, execute them in your harness, then report the result back so the shared router can keep improving.

import { route } from '@hokusai/router'

const { model, reasoning } = await route({
  task: userTask,
  context: harnessContext,
})

const result = await models[model].run(userTask)
await route.reportOutcome(result) // mints tokens proportional to performance lift

At ~10,000 coding tasks/week, the optimization value lab-side routers capture is roughly $10k/month (illustrative). With Hokusai, that value flows to integrators and contributors.
