What Mystic does
Mystic’s platform allows companies to easily and reliably deploy ML models on our serverless cloud or on their own infrastructure without requiring a team of MLOps engineers. With our Python SDK, data-scientists immediately get an endpoint from their own model, or any open-source models. Once uploaded, our platform handles routing, multi-cloud scaling, caching, GPU optimization and other features to provide the ultimate ML inference platform.

Company
Mystic
Low latency API to run and deploy ML models
We provide a platform that lets data scientists and ML teams deploy models quickly, either on our serverless cloud or their own infrastructure. Our Python SDK gives instant API endpoints for any model. We handle routing, scaling across clouds, GPU use, and caching so users don't need a dedicated MLOps team.
We are based in San Francisco, CA, USA and intend to remain here after YC.
Being in San Francisco keeps us close to ML companies and early adopters. It's where our network and hires are concentrated.
