What they do

Problem

AI applications rely on expensive prompt-based LLM calls that are slow and costly at scale.

Solution

An SDK that captures prompt-completion pairs from existing providers and uses them to fine-tune cheaper, faster custom models.

Who it's for

Developers and companies building LLM-powered products who want to reduce inference cost and latency.

David Corbitt
Founder

I'm a co-founder at OpenPipe, a platform for turning your slow and expensive prompts into cheap fine-tuned models. My cofounder and I wrote the first web agent that ran on GPT-4 (Taxy.AI) and I've been fine-tuning models since 2021.
