Founding SDR

About inference.net

We are building a real-time marketplace for AI inference that matches spare GPU capacity inside data centers with demand from developers building AI-powered applications. We currently operate the world’s largest distributed GPU cluster, with over 5,000 GPUs, hundreds of individual operators, and millions of gigabytes of VRAM connected to the network at any given moment.

We are a small, well-funded team working on difficult, high-impact problems at the intersection of AI and distributed systems. We primarily work in-person from our office in downtown San Francisco. Our investors include A16z CSX and Multicoin. We are high-agency, adaptable, and collaborative. We value creativity alongside technical prowess and humility. We work hard, and deeply enjoy the work that we do.
