## About

Founded in 2023 and based in California, US, Infercloud, Inc., trading under the name Pipeshift, operates as an infrastructure-as-a-service company that provides an orchestration platform for building with open-source AI components. The company was founded by its CEO, Arko Chattopadhyay, Enrique Ferrao, and Pranav Reddy.

Pipeshift is a modular orchestration platform designed to manage and control a broad spectrum of AI workloads, focusing on open-source components such as embeddings, vector databases, large language models (LLMs), vision models, and audio models. The core offerings include an end-to-end MLOps console that enables fine-tuning, distilling, and deploying AI models across any cloud or on-premises infrastructure. Pipeshift features built-in auto-scalers, load balancers, and schedulers to optimize the performance of AI models. Its clientele spans various industries, including technology, healthcare, and finance, with a global market presence across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The company plans to utilize the funding raised in January 2025 to accelerate the development of its machine learning operation platform, improving the deployment of open-source GenAI models to lower GPU infrastructure costs.
