What Airtrain AI does
Airtrain AI is a no-code data platform for Large Language Models. Proprietary AI models such as GPT-4 are very powerful but also very costly, slow, unreliable, and unsecured. As businesses look to scale their AI prototypes into production-grade products, they struggle with large AI bills, slow APIs and large failure rates. On the other hand, smaller language models have been proven to be able to perform on-part with large ones with fine-tuned on high-quality datasets. Airtrain AI lets AI practitioners explore alternatives to proprietary models, build up training datasets, evaluate, fine-tune, and serve a large selection of open-source LLMs.

Company
Airtrain AI
No-code data curation for LLM fine-tuning
We are building a platform that lets AI practitioners create, curate, and manage datasets to fine-tune and evaluate open-source large language models without writing code. Airtrain AI helps reduce reliance on costly proprietary APIs by enabling users to build production-grade AI products through dataset generation, fine-tuning, model evaluation, and serving.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and would keep the company based there after YC.
San Francisco is where we are based because of access to talent and AI ecosystem. Staying here after YC keeps us close to potential partners, early users, and other AI companies.
