Piris Labs

Piris Labs is a Y Combinator (W2026) deep-tech startup building the networking layer for AI. The company develops proprietary photonic interconnect technology paired with a vertically optimized software stack that moves data between AI accelerators at ultra-low latency, targeting the bottleneck where up to 80% of advanced AI compute sits idle waiting on slow networking. Piris Labs couples this optical fabric with a full-stack, low-latency inference offering and has reported some of the fastest inference speeds for large frontier models. Founded in San Francisco by Ali Khalatpour (CEO) and Keyvan Moghadam (President), the company currently exposes no public, documented developer API or SDK — its product is delivered as hardware plus a hosted inference stack behind an early-access waitlist. This profile tracks Piris Labs' identity in the API Evangelist network and any future API surface it publishes.

Piris Labs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Inference, Networking, and Photonics.

Piris Labs’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 4 more developer resources.
