RunLocal is built for Physical AI engineering teams across autonomous vehicles, robotics, smart cameras and more.
It tracks every experiment and continuously refines experimentation data into an understanding of what drives performance on your target hardware.
This environment means that a generic coding agent (e.g. Codex or Claude Code) can experiment and iterate better, faster and cheaper.
With RunLocal, you hit performance targets faster and ship more optimized models – without hiring inference optimization specialists.
We’re working with leaders in autonomous vehicles and robotics. We're backed by investors like Y Combinator and 468 Capital.

Is this you?
If you're behind RunLocal AI: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
