Talking Computers
AI for AI Infrastructure
We build and deploy fleets of AI Infrastructure Engineers that collaborate over week-long time horizons. They run hundreds of experiments in parallel and optimize GPU training and inference infrastructure tailored to specific workloads. Our product directly improves the performance of heavy AI workloads by speeding up kernels and reducing latency in large models.
We don't have a fixed physical location currently. After YC, we plan to base the company where it best supports remote collaboration and access to AI infrastructure resources.
Our work centers around distributed AI infrastructure engineering, which does not require a traditional office. We prioritize flexibility and access to cloud resources over location.
