The Challenge

Kortix.ai was doing what most AI startups do: paying OpenRouter and Anthropic directly for LLM access, watching runway shrink with every API call, and qualifying for exactly $0 in cloud credits. They weren't doing anything wrong-they just didn't know a better option existed.

Our Solution

Wring spotted the opportunity during a cloud audit: AWS Bedrock offers the same models (Claude, Llama, Mistral) at the same pricing as OpenRouter. The difference? When LLM spend flows through AWS, you qualify for AWS Activate credits ($25K-$100K+), your spend counts toward Enterprise Discount Programs, and you can stack Wring's group buying discounts (up to 40%). Week 1: Cloud audit identified the opportunity. Week 2: Migrated LLM endpoints to Bedrock (< 1 day engineering). Weeks 3-8: Credit applications submitted. Week 10: $600K+ landed in AWS account.

Results Achieved

$600K+ in AWS credits secured
< 1 day of engineering effort
Up to 40% group buying discounts unlocked
No infrastructure changes required
No downtime during migration
Credit programs stacked for maximum value

We were paying Anthropic directly for Claude. AWS Bedrock offered the exact same Claude-but suddenly we qualified for six figures in credits. The only thing that changed was who we paid.
