Today we're announcing our $20 M Series A, co-led by @AMDVentures and @AirbusVentures, with @BMWiVentures, @Kickstartph, @PanacheVC, and @Wavemaker_VC.
We're building the neutral layer for open models — so the future doesn't run on a few labs, a few chips, or a few clouds.
THE FUTURE CAN’T BE BLOCKED.
Any Model. Anywhere. Anyone. Yours.
If it's on Hugging Face, you can easily run your gigaslop_27b_q8 model on Featherless via our API.
Our mission is to make all LLMs globally accessible, even the edge cases.
We'd like to correct a mistake that we made.
On our website, we stated that we serve over 30,000 open source models to the world.
This was misleading -- we currently host a bit over open source 40,000 models.
We'll do better next time.
Summer is here, and so is the 12th @AITinkerers Prague, June meetup with @posthog.
We’re getting ready for an evening of demos, experiments, and conversations with Prague's builder community, and we want 🫵 you to show what you’ve been cooking (apply to RSVP and/or demo your project below)!
Join us on June 12th for a dev meetup with tinkerers like yourself, founders, engineers, researchers - all in one room!
The best part of the community has always been seeing what people are actually building, whether you’re deep into agentic pipelines, building AI products, experimenting with open-source tools, or simply curious about what others are working on, we'd love to have you there.
Huge thanks to our partners @ValkaAIonX , @posthog , @FeatherlessAI , and @TensorVC for supporting the Prague AI Tinkerers community.
See you on June 12th 👋
Sam Altman reveals there are zero privacy protections for what you tell ChatGPT and says it's "very screwed up"
"People talk about the most personal shit in their lives to ChatGPT. Young people especially use it as a therapist, a life coach. Right now if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor, there's legal privilege. Doctor patient confidentiality, legal confidentiality. We haven't figured that out yet for ChatGPT. If you talk to it about your most sensitive stuff and there's a lawsuit, we could be required to produce that. I think that's very screwed up. I think we should have the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist. And no one had to think about that even a year ago"
We've had questions regarding SOC-2 and HIPAA certifications -- we're actively working with partners to explore both! (Rest assured, we're NOT using @getdelve).
🛑[LIVE] on day 2 of @aiDotEngineer 🇸🇬
@picocreator from @FeatherlessAI on wtf do people use open models for
Open-source AI got so good it runs on your laptop now, which means the excuse economy is officially over.
“Just start building”
Proud to announce that @FeatherlessAI is backing the WHYC demo night in Paris. 1 week to go.
Trust me, this is going to be best event for founders Paris has ever witnessed.

Introducing KeyValueMeans
Our new AI architecture, for choosing between
- Fixed Cost Recurrent State: ie. RWKV, GDN, Mamba
- Quadratic Cost Scaling State: Attention
- & a middle ground in between...
What if Transformer attention, could expand on demand, instead of every token?
