SuperPenguin
AI spend intelligence for engineering and finance teams
What this is
Tracks and attributes AI usage costs across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock and more, so engineering and finance teams can see what's actually driving their AI bill. A cost dashboard, not itself an API product.

Where it shows up
Every group here is a page of its own — each one checked daily.
The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.
Hype can't move this line. Only verifiable outcomes do.
No money. No seat. It doesn't move the price. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
by reality anchor — the price money can't pump
AI. Launched 1d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #156. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching. It's anchored at 420 pts.
It placed #156 on PeerPush with 10 votes.
A launch's opening price comes from where it placed on its own board, normalised across all 12 platforms we watch. That's deliberate: #1 on a small board beats #40 on a huge one. It's how a launch nobody saw can still be worth more than one everybody did.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
Quiet for 1 day — no penalty yet. Bleeding begins on day 7.
We fetch this site every day and hash what's on it. A founder can post “still working on it” — but if they actually shipped, the page changes. That's the only claim we price: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The story so farEVERY MOVE, AND WHY▾
Repriced every day, no cliffs. A launch that goes quiet bleeds a little at a time, so there's never a drop you could have run from the night before.
Momentum on its boardDOESN'T MOVE THE PRICE▾
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day. This is the crowd's attention — it does not move the reality price. Only verifiable outcomes do.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
SuperPenguin is an AI spend intelligence and cost attribution platform for teams whose AI bills are scaling faster than their ability to understand them. As companies wire LLMs, voice, and other AI services into their products, spend explodes across half a dozen providers with almost no visibility into what is actually driving it. SuperPenguin opens that black box. The platform ingests usage and billing data across your AI stack (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, AWS Bedrock, and more) and attributes every dollar down to the specific customer, feature, team, model, and provider responsible for it. Instead of a single opaque invoice at the end of the month, engineering and finance teams get per-request attribution and a clear answer to the question that actually matters: where is our AI money going, and why? What you can do with SuperPenguin: See true cost per customer and per feature. Know which accounts are unprofitable, which features are expensive to run, and how AI cost maps to the revenue it supports. Track ROI on AI tooling. Measure spend on AI coding tools like Cursor against the productivity they deliver, so engineering leaders can justify or right-size their investment with data instead of gut feel. Surface waste and optimization opportunities. Spot runaway spend, inefficient model choices, and requests that could be cached or routed to cheaper models, then act on them. Unify multi-provider spend. One view across LLMs, voice, image, and vector services, rather than logging into each provider's console separately. Give finance and engineering a shared source of truth. Both teams work from the same attributed numbers, which turns AI cost from a monthly surprise into a managed line item. SuperPenguin processes over 100 million API requests and is built for engineering and finance teams at companies where AI spend has crossed the threshold from rounding error to real budget line. Early customers have used it to cut their AI bills. Stop guessing at the black box of AI spend. Start attributing, understanding, and optimizing it.

The board it did beston sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also landed in that board's top 25% — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
