AI for Startups

Move fast, iterate daily — without a dedicated MLOps team.

Startups building AI products can't afford months of infrastructure work before shipping. CogniCloud is designed for teams that need to go from idea to production endpoint in a single afternoon, with no DevOps overhead, no minimum commitments, and pay-as-you-go pricing scaled to your actual usage.

The Challenge

Why this is hard.

Most AI infrastructure platforms are built for enterprises: complex setup, multi-week onboarding, minimum spend requirements, and pricing opacity. Startups need GPU access, a serving layer, and a vector store without a three-month procurement process.

How CogniCloud helps

Everything you need, built in.

Zero-config deployment

Point the CLI at any Hugging Face model ID. CogniCloud handles serving container builds, hardware selection, and autoscaling. No YAML manifests, no Kubernetes.

Scale to zero

Pay nothing when users aren't active. Sub-2-second cold starts mean your users barely notice idle periods. Your burn rate tracks your revenue, not a fixed cluster.

OpenAI-compatible SDK

Drop in the CogniCloud base URL and start using every open-source model through the same familiar OpenAI SDK you already know. Migration time: 30 seconds.

Managed everything

No ML infrastructure to maintain. CogniCloud handles capacity planning, hardware failures, CUDA version upgrades, and security patching — your team focuses on the product.

Usage-based pricing

No seats, no tiers, no upfront commitments. Pay per GPU-second for training, per token for inference, per query for vector search. Transparent, predictable costs.

Startup support programme

Design-partner startups get dedicated Slack support, architecture reviews, and direct access to the engineering team. We succeed when you succeed.

How it works

From zero to production in three steps.

01

Install & authenticate

The CogniCloud CLI and SDK are available on npm and PyPI. API keys are created instantly in the dashboard.

# Install
npm install @cognicloud/sdk
pip install cognicloud

# Authenticate
$ cogni auth login
✓ Authenticated as team@acmecorp.ai

# Deploy a model
$ cogni deploy \
  --model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3
02

Build your product

Use the same API you'd use with OpenAI. Swap models, enable streaming, set autoscale limits — all from one SDK.

// Works with your existing OpenAI code
const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.cognicloud.net/v1",
  apiKey:  process.env.COGNI_KEY,
});

// All open-source models available
const models = [
  "meta-llama/Llama-3-70B-Instruct",
  "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3",
  "Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct",
];

Ship and grow

When your traffic grows, CogniCloud scales automatically. Move to dedicated capacity with one CLI command when you need guaranteed performance.

# Autoscale policy
$ cogni autoscale set \
  --min 0 \
  --max 50 \
  --target-latency-ms 50

# Promote to dedicated (one command)
$ cogni promote to-dedicated \
  --replicas 4 \
  --sla p99=10ms
