About Us
Applied AI research lab building the economics layer for AI inference.
Our Mission
We study what breaks when AI systems hit production
Models get better every quarter. The infrastructure to serve them, evaluate them, and keep them running reliably does not improve at the same rate. Kalmantic Labs builds domain-specific benchmarks, inference analysis tools, and publishes research on the economics of running AI at scale. Everything we build is open source.
