Why we built MasterNode for teams with their own keys

Many AI products wrap one reseller contract and mark up tokens. That is fine for individuals; teams with compliance needs, existing provider deals, or multi-cloud standards deserve a different default.

Your keys, your contracts

MasterNode orchestrates — it does not sit in the middle of inference billing. Finance sees the same invoices they already get from OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic. Security teams store secrets in their own vault patterns; we never train on your data.

Governance follows

• Per-tenant entitlements for pipelines, uploads, and integrations.
• Audit-friendly activity for support and bug reports.
• Deeper policy and compliance controls ship when ready — we don't advertise them as live first.

The trade-off we're honest about

You manage keys and provider outages. We focus on making that worthwhile: parallel speed, grounded answers, and visibility into every agent branch. If you want a fully bundled model, we're not the right fit — and we'd rather say that up front.
