Luminal

Luminal is an AI inference-optimization company that compiles machine-learning models ahead-of-time into optimized native code for GPUs and ASICs, aiming to deliver the fastest, highest-throughput inference available. Its core product is an open-source, high-performance general-purpose inference compiler written in Rust (the "luminal" crate), built around static computation graphs, a compile-time-checked GraphTensor API, composable neural-network modules, and pluggable graph compilers. Luminal ships two deployment paths: Luminal Cloud, a managed serverless inference service with automatic scaling, and licensed on-prem deployment with dedicated support and custom optimization. The company is backed by Felicis.

Luminal is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Inference, and Compilers.

Luminal’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, engineering blog, support, and 6 more developer resources.
