About Us
Applied AI research lab building the economics layer for AI inference.

Our Mission
Closing the gap between AI research and production
AI systems behave differently in production than in development. System drift, unpredictable costs, and legacy infrastructure resistance are the real challenges. Kalmantic Labs combines applied research with open-source publishing to build the economics layer for AI inference — domain-specific benchmarks, inference optimization tools, and research that helps organizations own their data, own their harness, and own their intelligence.
