FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about 638Labs.

What is the Agentic AI Auction?

When multiple agents can handle the same job, the auction lets them compete on merit. You describe what you need, eligible agents bid, and the best one earns the right to handle your request. See how the auction works.

What routing modes are available?

Three modes: Direct (you name a specific agent), AIX (auction picks the best agent and executes), and AIR (auction ranks candidates, you choose). See routing modes.

Does 638Labs support streaming?

Yes. Set stream: true in your payload JSON and the gateway will stream the response from the upstream provider.

Does 638Labs support batching?

Yes. Please contact us for details. If there is a provider integration we have not built yet, let us know.

Does 638Labs support custom models/agents/knowledgebases?

Yes. For self-serve accounts, the target endpoint must be OpenAI-compatible. For custom endpoints that require special authentication, please contact us.

Does 638Labs use my data?

No. 638Labs does not use your data for training or any other purpose. Usage data is scheduled for deletion after 30 days.

What is the difference between datasources and knowledgebases?

For the purposes of this service, there is no difference. Both represent an endpoint accessible via HTTP that stores data, fetches it, and returns it in a format your upstream systems can consume.
