Cosa fa Cumulus Labs

Cumulus Labs lets engineering teams ship AI in production without needing a dedicated ML platform team. Right now, companies building AI products are forced to stitch together separate vendors for routing, observability, evaluation, fine-tuning, and inference. This fragmented approach is brittle, expensive, and is a common reason enterprises fail with AI. We replace that entire stack with a single unified platform. Developers can keep their existing code while instantly upgrading to a unified platform that handles routing, semantic caching, continuous shadow evaluation, simulated data, and one-click fine-tuning. Behind the platform is Ion, our proprietary inference engine running on a custom NVIDIA Grace GPU fleet. Ion uses in-house custom GPU kernels to deliver 30 to 50 percent more throughput than standard vLLM or SGLang, giving our customers SOTA inference economics.

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

We're building a unified platform called Ion that replaces the usual patchwork of AI production tools. It handles routing, caching, continuous evaluation, simulated data, and fine-tuning in one system. Ion runs on our custom NVIDIA Grace GPU fleet with in-house kernels, giving 30-50% more throughput than standard inference engines. This lets teams ship AI products without needing a dedicated ML platform team.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team lives and where most AI infrastructure innovation happens. Staying here keeps us close to talent, customers, and partners.
