About
Gimlet Labs is an AI infrastructure company building what it calls “the first multisilicon cloud, built from the ground up for inference performance” — a serverless inference platform that distributes workloads across heterogeneous accelerator hardware (GPUs, dataflow architectures, CPUs) to optimize AI inference throughput and latency 1. The company’s Gimlet Cloud runs “everything from simple agents to complex multi-agent systems,” and its kforge system “autonomously generates optimized low-level kernels from PyTorch” across CUDA, ROCm, and Metal backends 2. Gimlet reports it has scaled to “hundreds of megawatts in managed capacity” and added “billions in contracted revenue” since its Series A five months prior 1.
