Fastino launches TLMs, AI models delivering 99X faster inference, trained on <$100K in GPUs. $17.5M seed funding by Khosla Ventures.

In Palo Alto, California, Fastino AI has introduced a revolutionary AI model structure called ‘TLMs’ - Task-Specific Language Models. Created by AI experts from Google DeepMind, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and Apple Intelligence, TLMs provide inference speeds that are 99 times faster than conventional LLMs. These models were trained using less than $100,000 worth of budget-friendly gaming GPUs. Fastino has secured $17.5 million in seed funding led by Khosla Ventures, known for being the initial investor in OpenAI.
