Frontier models for critical domains

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We train specialized LLMs for industries where data is scarce and existing models don't perform well. Our product delivers higher quality language capabilities for critical verticals by focusing on hard-to-get domain data and fine-tuning models to fit those precise use cases.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where all three of us live and work. It's where we have access to the AI talent and customers we need, and this is where our product development is happening now.
