# Costa Security
> The World's Most Powerful Secure AI Platform

## About
Costa Security is a highly performant, enterprise-ready, secure AI platform designed to empower businesses with cutting-edge AI capabilities while ensuring comprehensive security and control. It offers a unified ecosystem for all AI needs, from secure coding assistance to advanced LLM routing and enterprise-grade AI chat.

1. Our Product Suite
Costa Security's platform is built around a cohesive suite of three main products, each tailored to a specific enterprise need.

# Costa Code
The world's most capable secure coding assistant, Costa Code is an indispensable tool for modern engineering teams. It integrates directly into the most popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), including Cursor, VS Code, and JetBrains. By leveraging cutting-edge AI models, it empowers engineers with intelligent code completion, generation, and analysis. Its core value lies in providing a secure and compliant alternative to "all you can eat" model subscriptions, ensuring that proprietary code and sensitive data remain protected.

# Costa Gateway
Serving as a high-performance, secure LLM and tool router, Costa Gateway simplifies the complex landscape of AI models. It provides a single, unified API endpoint that offers seamless access to hundreds of different models. This eliminates the need for developers to manage multiple API keys and connections, streamlining the development of LLM applications. The platform's routing capabilities are designed to be compatible with both OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, making migration and integration effortless.

# Costa Copilot
An enterprise-grade AI chat assistant, Costa Copilot is designed to enhance workflow productivity for an entire organization. It connects to external agents and tools, allowing employees to superpower their workflows through a central AI interface. This product, along with Costa Gateway, is noted as "Coming Soon," indicating an active development roadmap.

2. Core Platform Benefits & Differentiators
What distinguishes Costa Security is its unwavering focus on security and performance, built on a "Security First" philosophy.

Security & Compliance: The platform is equipped with comprehensive enterprise-ready security controls. This includes features like configurable data residency, allowing companies to choose where their data is processed (US, EU, or Asia-Pacific regions), and a Zero Retention option for maximum privacy by not storing data after processing. All AI interactions are tracked with comprehensive audit logging for compliance and accountability.

Unified Access: Costa provides a single platform for all AI needs, complete with centralized observability. This single-pane-of-glass approach simplifies management and monitoring for IT and security teams.

Latest Models: The platform stays current with the latest advancements in AI, providing support for frontier models such as Claude 4, GPT-5, and Gemini 2.5.

Intelligent Auto Router: A key technological innovation is the Auto Router, referred to as Cosmic Routers. These are not static models but intelligent routing systems that dynamically select the optimal model for each request. The documentation highlights two specific examples:

💫 Orbit: The "frontier" model router that uses semantic task analysis, performance benchmarking, and adaptive load balancing to deliver optimal outcomes, particularly excelling in multi-language coding tasks.

💫 Quasar: A stable and reliable router based on proven routing logic, designed for time efficiency with fewer updates.

3. Getting Started & Integration
The Quick Start guide outlines a simple, four-step process to begin using the platform.

Create Account: Sign up for a Costa AI account (note: open registration is currently closed; contact sales for access).

Generate API Key: Create your first API key from the Settings menu in the dashboard.

Test Connection: Verify your setup using the interactive API playground.

Integrate: Connect Costa AI to your preferred development environment.

The platform provides detailed integration guides for popular tools like Cursor IDE and VS Code (via Continue.dev). For developers, it supports direct use of its REST API with a unified base URL (https://ai.costa.app/api/v1) and is fully compatible with existing OpenAPI and Anthropic endpoints. This makes it an ideal solution for companies looking to migrate from services like OpenRouter while gaining enhanced security features.

4. Available Models & Enterprise Features
Costa offers access to a diverse range of models, including both its custom-tuned offerings and models from major providers.

Custom Models: Examples include costa/enterprise-coder-v1 for general coding, costa/secure-claude-3-5-sonnet for security reviews, and costa/compliance-assistant for regulatory tasks.

Top Coding Models: The platform supports a variety of top-tier models, such as GPT 4.1, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and open-weight models like Qwen3 Coder.

In addition to its core products and models, the platform offers robust enterprise features essential for large organizations:

Team Management: Role-based access controls and usage quotas.

SSO Integration: SAML/OIDC integration with existing identity providers.

24/7 Support: Dedicated enterprise support with SLA guarantees.
