About Cascade
Summary
Cascade builds tooling that lets B2B companies fine-tune and align AI models against their own proprietary data and internal workflows. The result is task-specific models that outperform generic foundation models on the company's particular use cases while cutting compute cost and latency. It replaces the manual, ad-hoc work of prompt engineering and model customization that data and ML teams currently do by hand.
Go-to-market
Cascade targets B2B companies that already run AI workloads but need higher accuracy and lower cost than off-the-shelf models deliver.

Distilling Proprietary Intelligence
