## About

Based in Washington, US, and founded in 2023 by Kyle Corbitt (CEO) and David Corbitt, OpenPipe Inc. operates as an AI-based (artificial intelligence-based) platform designed to streamline the creation and deployment of application-specific Large Language Models (LLMs). In September 2025, CoreWeave, Inc. acquired OpenPipe Inc. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The firm offers a platform that performs fine-tuning, using which developers can train smaller, specialized models that match or exceed the performance of larger ones, enhancing response quality and correctness. The platform collects prompts to fine-tune models, offering a drop-in replacement for existing prompts enabling developers to train and deploy fine-tuned models faster, and with increased accuracy.
