About Zorbe
Summary
Zorbe builds custom AI models for companies across text, vision, speech, image, and video workloads. Using techniques like distillation, fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning, it converts general-purpose frontier models into smaller, task-specific models tailored to how a given business operates. The result replaces reliance on third-party AI APIs with models the company controls, owns, and can improve over time as its data and needs change.
Business model
Per-engagement or subscription fees for model building and ongoing optimization, though exact pricing is not public.
