Pruna

Pruna AI is a platform that delivers performance-optimized AI models that are faster, cheaper, smaller, and greener than standard models while maintaining outstanding quality. The company offers a portfolio of performance models including P-Image for text-to-image generation with 0.6 second inference time, P-Image-Edit for image-to-image editing, P-Image-Upscale for 4MP upscaling, P-Image-Try-On for garment virtual try-on, P-Image-Ideogram for text-to-image generation, P-Video for video generation, P-Video-Replace, P-Video-Animate, P-Video-Avatar, and other models. Pruna provides three deployment options: Pruna API for instant access to production-ready models with no setup or fine-tuning required, a self-hosted option for deploying within the customer's own infrastructure for advanced control and compliance, and an open-source library for running models on the customer's own infrastructure. The platform addresses the problem of inefficient AI models that drive up costs, slow productivity, and increase carbon emissions by making AI more accessible and sustainable. Customers include Bria and Replicate. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, the company has raised $6.5M in seed funding from investors including Daphni, Motier, Kima Ventures, and EQT.
