A YEAR OF FAST APPLY: THE PATH TO 10K TOKENS PER SECOND

Relace explains how it built a small model that applies code edits at a reported 10,000 tokens per second using high-quality merge data, LoRA fine-tuning, FP8 quantization, and speculative decoding. Its training pipeline filtered 200,000 candidate examples down to about 145,000, using a judge calibrated against 500 manually reviewed merges. Relace Apply 3 supports a 256,000-token context and multiple diff formats, although improving frontier-model edit accuracy could eventually reduce the need for specialized apply models.

Two-thirds of the Forbes AI 50 companies use some form of usage-based pricing as variable AI costs push businesses toward hybrid subscriptions, credits, and outcome charges. Examples from AI companies show why spending controls, flexible packaging, measurable customer value, and pricing pages readable by both people and agents are becoming part of the product.
