Tracer (YC S26)

AI research lab building adaptive intelligence through coordination

Today we’re launching Echo: Fable-level quality at ~1/3 the inference cost using open-weight models.

Echo matches or nearly matches Fable on math, science, and the coding benchmarks we currently cover, while trailing on multilingual and broader knowledge. 🧵

Every company’s AI traffic has a shape.

For teams that work with us, Echo can be configured around their workload, quality bar, and data requirements to optimize inference further.

Public Echo does not train on users’ private traces.

Tracer just launched on @ycombinator's Launch YC!

Tracer: Fable-level AI at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models. Check them out: https://t.co/QI1TjFwwSF

[Tracer (YC S26) @TracerML]

Today, we’re introducing Echo: one adaptive model built entirely from a pool of open-weight models.

On our first internal task mix, Echo reached Fable-level results at roughly 1/3 of the total inference cost.

We’re releasing Echo now to learn from real workloads and keep pushing the approach forward.

You can use Echo through the chat or plug its OpenAI-compatible endpoint directly into OpenCode and other compatible tools.

New accounts include $10 in free inference credits.

Tracer 0.2.0 is out New: tracer scan reads your LLM classification traces and tells you, on held-out data it never saw, how much traffic a near-free model can already take over, with an interactive 3D map of your embedding space and more... 👇🧵

@FabraixHQ very cool!
