A structured path from frontier APIs to self-hosted inference

We're working with engineering organizations today through structured proofs of concept that guide them towards cost-efficient self-hosted inference.

Move your coding agents onto infrastructure you control

Buoyant AI runs on the GPU clusters you already own

Run inference the way you run everything else

It’s open source. Turn the GPU clusters you already run into an inference platform.

Inference Use Cases

Cut coding inference spend Burst to the cloud when your GPUs are full Get full efficiency from every GPU in the pool Every app, model, and tenant gets an SLO Intent-based routing See all use cases
