Markus Tretzmüller and Alexander Steiner identified a significant market gap while developing AI applications for clients: the absence of suitable solutions for deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) on privately hosted European servers. Existing options were often complex and costly, prompting them to leverage their expertise and cutting-edge server infrastructure to found cortecs.
cortecs provides dedicated language models securely hosted in Europe, delivering peak performance without the associated hassle. Users can immediately build and deploy their applications without the cumbersome infrastructure setup, accessing lightning-fast models via API that are both cost-effective and GDPR compliant.
