LLUMO AI

LLUMO AI emerges as a specialized enterprise technology firm addressing the significant financial and performance hurdles associated with deploying Generative AI. Founded in 2023 by Shivam Gupta, an IIT Roorkee alumnus, and Akshat Anand, an IIT Kanpur alumnus, the Noida-based company was born from their direct experiences with these challenges in previous ventures. This firsthand knowledge spurred the creation of a platform designed to make AI technology more accessible, affordable, and impactful for businesses.

The company targets high-growth AI and SaaS businesses, enabling them to optimize Large Language Model (LLM) performance and deliver superior AI-driven customer experiences. LLUMO AI's core business revolves around a platform that can slash Generative AI operational costs by as much as 80%. Its business model is centered on providing this enterprise-grade platform that seamlessly integrates into existing AI workflows. A significant milestone was achieved in August 2024, when LLUMO AI secured $1 million in a seed funding round led by SenseAI Ventures, with participation from India Quotient, AumVC, Venture Catalyst, and others, to fuel its expansion into the U.S. market and further enhance its platform.

The product's architecture is built upon two proprietary 'tiny' LLMs trained on extensive datasets. The first model focuses on prompt compression, which drastically cuts costs by reducing the size of input tokens—a critical issue in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines—while preserving the quality of the AI's output. The second, known as Eval-LM (Evaluation Language Model), provides a method for assessing the performance of LLM-generated content without the need for ground-truth data, offering businesses clear and real-time visibility into their AI's effectiveness. This dual approach allows clients to refine their AI implementations, accelerate iteration cycles, and make data-driven decisions without significant capital strain.
