OpenInfer raises $8M for AI inference at the edge
OpenInfer has raised $8 million in funding to redefine AI inference for edge applications. It’s the brain child of Behnam Bastani and Reza Nourai, who spent nearly a decade of building and scaling AI systems together at Meta’s Reality Labs and Roblox. Through their work at the forefront of AI and system design, Bastani and […]
Imagine a world where your phone anticipates your needs in real time — translating languages instantly, enhancing photos with studio-quality precision, or powering a voice assistant that truly understands you. By significantly boostinginference speeds, Behnam and his team are making real-time AI applications more responsive,accelerating development cycles, and enabling powerful models to run efficiently on edgedevices. This challenge makes deploying large models oncompute-constrained platforms incredibly difficult, pushing AI workloads back to thecloud—where they become costly, slow, and dependent on network conditions.
