Carrot Labs

Carrot Labs is the company behind SuperPenguin, an AI spend intelligence platform that tracks, attributes, and forecasts spending across 14+ LLM, speech, and gateway providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Vercel AI Gateway, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, LiveKit, and LiteLLM. SuperPenguin provides per-request cost attribution (by customer, feature, team, environment, prompt key, and prompt version), a multi-provider spend dashboard, prompt version analytics, engineering ROI via Cursor pull-request cost attribution, billing reconciliation against actual provider invoices, and spend alerts over Slack, email, or Discord. It ships lightweight first-party Python (`pip install superpenguin`) and TypeScript (`npm install @superpenguin/js`) SDKs that wrap native provider clients, add sub-10ms overhead, and capture cost metadata without storing prompt or response content by default. Carrot Labs is a Y Combinator (Winter 2026) company based in San Francisco.
