Carrot Labs 做什么

The problem: AI spend is scattered across multiple provider billing consoles that don't talk to each other. Teams can't answer simple questions like "which customer is driving our Anthropic bill?" or "is this feature profitable after AI costs?" without manually pulling data from each provider and stitching it together in a spreadsheet. What SuperPenguin does: SuperPenguin tracks AI spend across 14 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Modal, Cursor and more). Zero-code setup: connect an API key and costs sync automatically with model-level breakdowns, trends, and forecasts. Per-request attribution: add two lines of Python SDK to tag every AI call by customer, feature, or team. Slack alerts on budget thresholds and spend anomalies. Most teams are set up in under five minutes. We help companies see where their AI money goes and whether it's worth it.

AI Cost Management: Track AI spend by provider

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

We built SuperPenguin, a platform that tracks and attributes AI spending across 14 providers including OpenAI and Anthropic. It connects to billing APIs with zero code, breaks down costs by model and request, and allows tagging via a small Python SDK to link spend to customers, features, or teams. We alert users on Slack when budgets or anomalies happen, helping teams understand exactly where their AI dollars go and if features are profitable.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the main hub for AI startups and our users. Being here helps us stay close to early customers and the ecosystem we're building in.
