Introducing Tembo Max and Tembo Proxy

Running coding agents at scale is hard. Provider outages disrupt your workflow, managing multiple API keys is tedious, and token costs add up fast.

Today we're launching Tembo Max and Tembo Proxy to solve these problems.

What is Tembo Max?

Tembo Max is a single subscription that gives you access to all major AI coding agents with built-in reliability infrastructure.

What you get:

• 4x more efficient token usage: Intelligent caching and routing mean your API tokens go further than using provider APIs directly.

• Zero-downtime failover: If Claude, OpenAI, or other providers experience an outage, Tembo automatically reroutes requests to AWS Bedrock or GCP Vertex AI. Your agents never stop working.

• One base URL for all agents: Standardize your agent CLIs on a single endpoint. Point any third-party coding agent to Tembo and simplify your local configurations.

• Cloud background agents included: Run thousands of tasks daily with Tembo's hosted agent infrastructure.

What is Tembo Proxy?

Tembo Proxy is the infrastructure layer that makes Tembo Max work. It's your gateway to Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, and more.

BASE_URL="https://proxy.tembo.io"

Use Tembo Proxy as a drop-in replacement for any OpenAI or Anthropic compatible endpoint. It works with the coding agents you already use: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode.

Plan Your First Proxy Test

Before changing a shared configuration, choose one agent and a small, repeatable task. Record the model, the task instructions, and the checks you expect the agent to pass. Keep your existing configuration available so you can compare the same workflow before and after switching endpoints.

Use the setup documentation for your specific client rather than assuming every agent reads the same environment variable. The base URL above identifies the proxy endpoint; consult the documentation for the authentication and model configuration your client needs. Keep credentials out of source control and out of prompts you share with others.

Evaluate the complete result, not just whether the first request succeeds. Did the agent finish the task, run the expected checks, and produce a change you would accept? Compare usage and completion time across several representative tasks before drawing conclusions about savings. A short code explanation and a long repository maintenance task can exercise very different parts of your workflow.
