Classifier Pro launches with 10x limits
Michael Chomsky launched Classifier Pro, a $20 per month tier for classifier.dev offering lightweight zero-shot text classification over HTTP, CLI, and MCP. The Pro tier increases capacity tenfold to 30,000 classifications per minute and 200,000 per day on the fast tier, alongside 2,000 per minute and 20,000 per day on the smart tier.
Offloading zero-shot classification from bloated LLM context windows to dedicated, calibrated decision APIs is an essential architectural shift for cost-effective agent pipelines.
- –Context window optimization: Pre-filtering large streams like logs, search results, or diffs via lightweight HTTP calls saves significant token overhead before engaging frontier reasoning models.
- –Calibrated decision modeling: Powered by specialized decision models like Jev rather than prompt-engineered generative LLMs, the service outputs true probability scores to enable threshold-based routing.
- –Agent-native distribution: First-class support for MCP endpoints, OpenAPI specs, and zero-key CLI tooling minimizes integration friction across autonomous agent environments.
- –Practical scaling tier: At $20/month for up to 200,000 daily classifications, the Pro plan offers an accessible scaling path for developers running intensive background automation.
