Company
OpenRelay
Distributed, hardware-agnostic AI inference
We're building OpenRelay, a platform for distributed AI inference that works across any hardware. Teams use us to run AI workloads flexibly on their existing infrastructure, instead of being locked into specific vendors or configurations. Our product manages scheduling, routing, and deployment so engineers can focus on building, not fighting infrastructure.
We are based in Seattle, WA and would keep the company here after YC.
Seattle has a strong engineering community and access to cloud and AI talent. We're from here and already have a network.
