Luminal
Inference at the speed of light.

Luminal is an AI inference compiler that compiles and optimizes AI models ahead of time into native code for GPUs and ASICs, eliminating runtime overhead. It includes a hyperscale inference OS that dynamically schedules and load-balances workloads across heterogeneous compute clusters. The platform claims 2-3x throughput improvements over existing inference engines like vLLM and TensorRT-LLM.
Luminal compiles AI models ahead of time into optimized native GPU or ASIC code using graph-level IR, hardware-aware optimization passes, and zero-overhead code generation, then dynamically schedules workloads across heterogeneous compute clusters.
