About Argmax

AI applications are scaling in user adoption at unprecedented rates. The infrastructure is crumbling:

- Spinner wheels are back in fashion

- The most sensitive types of user data are uploaded to the cloud and occasionally leaked

- Spiky demand leads to infrastructure capacity crunch and underutilization at the same time

Argmax is building the critical infrastructure required to bring real-time AI workloads to the edge:

- Autoscaling instantly and infinitely

- Private and compliant by design

- Reliable beyond even the multi-cloud platforms

The hardest part: We are directly migrating cloud workloads to the edge, without compromising accuracy that our customers work so hard to achieve. This is a hard core technology problem and we built the mission-driven team with a long-term vision to make on-device the default way to build AI applications. Join us if this sounds like you and you have 3+ years to stake!
