Latent (YC F26) — Catch wrong LLM answers before your customers do

Latent catches wrong or unsupported LLM answers before they reach your users. Instead of running a second model to check every output, it reads the model's own internal state as it generates, so every request is verified with no added latency, no extra inference cost, and nothing leaving your deployment.

In their words

Latent catches wrong or unsupported LLM answers before they reach your users. Instead of running a second model to check every output, it reads the model's own internal state as it generates, so every request is verified with no added latency, no extra inference cost, and nothing leaving your deployment. Teams running LLMs in production, in finance, legal, healthcare and customer support, get a review queue of the answers most likely to be wrong, calibrated to their own model and traffic, with a plain explanation of why each one was flagged.

Is this you?

If you're behind Latent: 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.

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.
