2uryaa··on Launch HN: IonRouter (YC W26) – High-throughput, low-cost inference
Thank you for the feedback. Taking note of this!

Yes, we operate on GB200s and GH200s. Usually we are cheaper for many models and can get up to double the TPS.

Yep, we are actively working on getting this down. We can meet SLAs with tuning for the real time vision workloads but trying to get rid of this compromise is our next big development task.

For consumers, we want to just pass on price to performance ratio. For enthusiasts and companies, we do see people want their own models/ ability to use the massive amounts of data they have.

That's really awesome to hear!!

Hey Jack, we use GB200s for these workloads. Feel free to check those big models out on our site! We are doing Kimi, GLM, Minimax, etc.

Also curious about this. We have a 30 day content retention policy and have to have access to your fine-tuned model/LoRa if deploying that. If there's anything we can change, happy to hear it out.

We usually charge by GPU hour for those finetunes, around 8-10 dollars depending on GPU type and volume! This is similar to Modal, but since the engine is fully ours, you don't wait ~1 min for cold starts. Ideally, we will make onboarding super frictionless and self serve, but onboarding people manually for now.

Haha sorry for the typo! Your F500 use case is exactly who we want to target, especially as they start serving finetunes on their own data. Thanks for the feedback!

our SLA is actually higher and we are lower priced. We are also using this as a step into serving finetuned models for much cheaper than Fireworks/Together and not having the horrible cold starts of Modal. We're essentially trying to prove that our engine can hang with the best providers while multiplexing models.

Thank you for the feedback! I think we will definitely redo the info on the frontpage to reorg and show quantizations better. For reference, Kimi and Minimax are NVFP4. The rest are FP8. But I will make this more obvious on the site itself.

Hey Oras, thank you for the feedback! I think we definitely could list on OpenRouter but as you point out, our end goal is to host finetuned models for individuals. The IonRouter product is mostly to showcase our engine. In the backend, we are multiplexing finetuned and open source models on a homogenous fleet of GPUs. So if you feel better or even similar performance difference on our cloud, we're already proving what we set out to show.

I do think we will lean harder into the hosting of fine-tuned models though, this is a good insight.
