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.”
