Conifer 做什么

There are thousands of models, providers, and harnesses, each with its own pricing and strengths, leaving an overwhelming number of choices when it comes to managing token spend and intelligence. Conifer uses intelligent routing and orchestration logic to handle the full path of each query: model selection, provider choice, and cache management. It all runs inside your existing harness, so tools like Claude Code and Codex work without changing your setup. By centralizing where inference occurs, Conifer lets companies save on their inference bill while leaving teams free to focus on what they are building.

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

We built Conifer to help AI/ML teams stop wasting money on inference. There are thousands of LLMs, providers, and deployment harnesses, and every one has different strengths, latency, and pricing. Our system plugs into your existing harness, then automatically routes queries through the cheapest/best model (or cached output) for each task - you don't have to change your tooling or rewrite code. Teams use Conifer to cut their inference and token bills by 70% or more with zero disruption to their workflow.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. The company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the best density of AI tooling startups, developer users, and ML infrastructure talent. Our customers and partners are here, and the ecosystem lets us move faster.
