Open-source startups in AI infrastructure
Serving, inference, training, gateways and evaluation — the layer underneath every AI product. 24 open-source startups in this directory are filed under AI infrastructure. 20 pushed code in the last 30 days, 0 have been quiet for 31–120 days, 4 have not pushed in over 120 days or are archived. The category is chosen by Jev, TypeSafe’s classifier, reading only the repository’s own name, description and homepage — one category per project, so something that spans two appears under whichever the classifier judged closest.
Ship status
20 of 24 pushed in the last 30 days.
The list
All 24, most-starred first.
The last column is the most recent push to any branch, by a person or a bot — it is not a claim that anyone is maintaining the project, and a quiet repository may be a finished one. The “built for” column and the “alternative to” chips are Jev’s answers about the same repository description, published with the rest of them.
