Gradient, a startup enabling developers to create and customize AI applications in the cloud using large language models (LLMs), has secured $10 million in funding.
Gradient's platform simplifies the deployment of specialized and fine-tuned LLMs at scale within organizations. It operates in the cloud, allowing companies to integrate numerous LLMs into a single system. Gradient provides pre-trained LLMs which users can fine-tune for specific needs and offers models tailored to various use cases and industries.
Customers can either access models via an API or deploy AI systems in their preferred public cloud environment, maintaining full ownership and control over their data and trained models.
Additionally, Gradient offers a flexible pricing model based on actual usage. Despite competition in the LLM development space, Gradient is poised to benefit from the growing interest in generative AI, as the sector attracts significant venture capital funding, with expectations of the generative AI market reaching $42.6 billion in 2023.
