Liner

Liner is a commercial software brand associated with AI-assisted search and research. Its platform is intended to help users discover information and use AI tools to work with it. The supplied evidence does not describe Liner’s products, corporate operator, founding, leadership, headquarters, ownership, or markets, so those details cannot be reliably established from the material provided. The supplied links concern Minnesota healthcare organizations and do not substantiate claims about Liner. Accordingly, this dossier is limited to identifying Liner as an AI-oriented software platform; further company and product details require relevant sources.

The supplied evidence does not include a company history or any dated events for Liner. It consists of two MPR News articles about Minnesota healthcare matters and does not establish when Liner began, how its product developed, or who founded or operates it. Liner is identified here only as an AI-oriented search and research software brand. A fuller account of its history, ownership, leadership, and product milestones should be added only when supported by sources relevant to the company.

  Liner launches Liner Model API to cut large language model costs by more than 50%[3]Liner推出Liner Model API，旨在将大语言模型成本降低超过50%itbrief.co.nz

  Liner, a San Francisco-based AI research platform company, launched the Liner Model API for companies running AI applications. The API routes each request to what the company determines is the lowest-cost model able to complete the task, removing the need for developers to choose and switch models manually, and Liner says it is designed to cut large language model costs by more than 50%. Pricing is set at USD $1 per 1 million input tokens, USD $6 per 1 million output tokens and USD $0.10 per 1 million cached input tokens. Liner said its token spending in August fell by more than 50% compared with the first half of 2026 after deploying the routing system internally, and it published benchmark comparisons against frontier models including Claude Sonnet 5 and GPT-5.6-Terra.
