RunLocal AI
ActiveAI agent that optimizes inference for embedded compute like Jetson
About
RunLocal is an environment that specializes AI agents to optimize model for onboard compute platforms like NVIDIA Orin/Thor and Qualcomm → www.runlocal.ai 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.
