About Wafer
Summary
Wafer builds a continual inference platform that automatically profiles AI workloads and optimizes the GPU serving stack in real time, replacing the manual tuning and static configurations that teams otherwise maintain themselves. It targets AI companies and cloud providers running large-scale LLM inference, delivering lower latency and higher throughput as traffic patterns shift. The platform replaces both bespoke kernel engineering and prefetching infrastructure that engineers build to keep inference fast under load.
Go-to-market
AI teams and cloud providers start by routing inference traffic through Wafer's platform, which then continuously re-tunes kernels and the serving stack without manual intervention.
