Mira launches AI model verification service Sterling, supporting Claude, GPT, and Gemini calls at up to 50% off

Mira launched Sterling, an AI model inference service that continuously tests API providers for model identity, tool-calling behavior, parameter execution, silent failures, and context length, then routes requests only to providers that pass verification. The service is in beta and offers unified API-key access to Claude, GPT, and Gemini at up to 50% below official list prices during the launch period, with payment accepted in USDC via x402 or in MIRA tokens. Mira said a four-month study of 189 API endpoints found 37 undisclosed model or service changes across 29 of them, underscoring the reliability problem Sterling aims to address. The launch ties Mira's verification layer to stablecoin micropayments and its own token, positioning it between model providers and end users. What to watch next is whether Sterling's discounted pricing and provider-routing model hold after beta and whether its verification findings push API vendors toward more transparent change disclosure.
