Who we are We are quant traders and engineers from high-frequency derivatives markets, where every small detail matters for getting the best price and outcome. We researched, built, traded, and risk-managed complex trading systems at scale, which shaped our obsession with efficiency. Today, the same AI model can be served by different providers with different prices, latencies, cache behaviors, model quality, and reliability profiles. We know how small differences compound, and we built Auriko to optimize across them. Our mission We're building the market infrastructure for the AI inference economy. Our goal is to make compute a liquid, efficiently utilized, transparently priced, and risk-manageable resource.
