Pruna AI

Inefficient models drive up costs, slow down productivity and increase carbon emissions. Pruna AI has developed an optimization tool for compressing AI models so that they require less compute and energy. Users can run their model through Prunas optimization engine, which renders the AI model smaller, cheaper, and greener on any hardware platform. Some of the Pruna AIs customers include Meta, Hugging Face, NVIDIA, Scaleway, AWS, and PhotoRoom. The company has 2 Research hubs in Munich Paris and according to the startup, they have helped optimize more than 6500 public AI models. Pruna AI has announced that it has secured $6.5 million from EQT Ventures. Additional funding came from Daphni, Motier, and Kima, as well as high-profile angel investors, including Roxanne Varza, Herv Nivon, and Olivier Pomel.
