Giga ML wants to help companies deploy LLMs offline

Giga ML, a startup founded by Varun Vummadi and Esha Manideep Dinne, is developing a platform to help enterprises deploy large language models (LLMs) on-premise, addressing issues of cost, privacy, and customization. The company offers its own LLMs, the "X1 series," which are designed for tasks like generating code and answering customer queries. Giga ML aims to simplify the process of training, fine-tuning, and running LLMs through an easy-to-use API, allowing businesses to fine-tune LLMs locally without relying on third-party resources and platforms.

The startup has raised approximately $3.74 million in VC funding from Nexus Venture Partners, Y Combinator, Liquid 2 Ventures, 8vdx, and others. The funds will be used to expand the team, ramp up product R&D, and support Giga ML's customer base, which currently includes unnamed enterprises in the finance and healthcare sectors.
