Inference.net runs inference infrastructure for AI-native teams, serving open-source, custom, and fine-tuned models at scale. The company positions itself around training and hosting custom language models that beat general-purpose alternatives on cost and latency, and ships tooling to deploy, trace, observe, and evaluate LLM workloads in production. It began as Kuzco, a distributed GPU network for AI inference, before relaunching under the Inference.net brand.
