Open-Source RL & fine-tuning for LLMs
We build tooling that lets developers create custom AI models faster and more efficiently using reinforcement learning and optimized kernels. Our platform cuts training time and memory use drastically, making open-source fine-tuning accessible and scalable for engineers and product teams.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we have our team and community, which is critical for recruiting and partnerships in AI infrastructure.
