O que Orchestra faz

Orchestra is an inference cloud. We capture your AI work traces, train smaller models, and automatically deploy them (only when they outperform the expensive model you are currently paying for). Instead of renting the same frontier model forever, your AI infrastructure gets faster, smarter, and cheaper every time it runs. Suppose your product uses Claude for a repetitive legal workflow. Orchestra observes successful production runs, learns the specific tools and judgment required for that workflow, and trains a specialized open-weight model. Once that model matches or beats Claude on a held-out evaluation, Orchestra starts routing production traffic to it. As more work is completed, the model keeps improving. We started Orchestra because we believe every company using AI should be accumulating intelligence, not accumulating API bills.

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

Orchestra is an inference cloud for AI teams tired of burning money on expensive API calls. We capture user work traces, train smaller models specialized for your specific tasks, and automatically switch to them as soon as they outperform your current vendor model. This means you stop overpaying for generic foundation models, and your AI infrastructure gets faster and cheaper with every production run. The system keeps learning from new data, so you accumulate lasting capability instead of just racking up API charges.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA, and the company will stay here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most AI infrastructure companies are built, and it's where our users and community are.
