The AI Functions platform.
Sutro is a platform for building, optimizing, and running reliable AI Functions.
A reliable AI Function repeatedly and consistently makes the same decisions as a human expert would on a given task.
Book a demoWhat is an AI Function?
An AI Function is a repeated AI task. It performs the same operation, many times, over varying inputs. Below are examples of AI Functions our customers are building.
Judge
Give pass or fail assignments on agent traces.
Extractor
Remove personally identifiable information from medical records.
Entity resolver
Determine whether two businesses are the same.
Matcher
Determine whether a candidate is a good fit for a role.
Router
Send support tickets to the right team or person.
Building an AI Function isn’t about scaling general intelligence. It’s about teaching a model exactly how your organization wants a task performed.
How do you use AI Functions?
Run a function continuously as new inputs arrive, or process large datasets in batch.
How Sutro works
-
01
Teach the task
Upload sample data and declare a task. Sutro surfaces where context is missing, and your feedback teaches new decision rules.
-
02
Optimize the logic
Once the rules are learned, Sutro optimizes the decision logic for a small model.
-
03
Run it anywhere
The AI Function is yours to run where you see fit. Optionally, use our batch inference service to process large datasets inexpensively.
-
04
Keep improving
Return to Sutro at any time to update your function. Bring new data to learn from, or optimize newly released foundation models.

Frequently asked
Is this an evals product?
Yes and no. Sutro helps evaluate quality and reliability, but unlike other evals products, it directly influences model/agent behavior from feedback.
Can Sutro use image inputs and other modalities? Can it call tools?
Yes. Sutro supports images, PDFs, and web search capabilities today. Additional modalities and custom tool calling are available on a per-request basis.
What models does Sutro Functions use?
Functions are typically model-agnostic, and we support a mix of open-source and proprietary models. It's common that small-open source models outperform larger proprietary models when building AI Functions. Sutro helps automatically find the best model for your needs.
Can I self-host Sutro? Do you support BYOC and BYOK?
Yes. Sutro can be managed as SaaS or entirely self-hosted. You can bring your own provider keys and cloud credentials in either case.
How does Sutro compare to prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or RL?
AI Functions accumulate edge cases by nature of the volume they run at and the diversity of possible inputs. Sutro systematically discovers these edge cases and learns generalized rules optimized to cover as many of them as possible. Manual prompt engineering is typically not scalable in these scenarios.
Sutro Functions are designed to be extremely data efficient and portable. Functions learn in-context, meaning no weight updates are needed and can be continually optimized. Fine-tuning and reinforement learning typically require more data and require retraining for updates, making them more rigid and less portable.
