Built for Speed
We focus on compact, efficient LLMs and serve each one from a single GPU — keeping the request path short for fast, responsive inference. Streaming output lets your users see tokens as they are generated.
Service
Fast inference for compact LLMs on NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs — served through an OpenAI-compatible API.
01Features
We focus on compact, efficient LLMs and serve each one from a single GPU — keeping the request path short for fast, responsive inference. Streaming output lets your users see tokens as they are generated.
In the standard API, every model instance runs entirely within the 96 GB memory of a single GPU. No tensor splitting and no inter-GPU communication on the request path — for efficient, low-overhead inference.
Keep the SDKs and tools you already use. Point them to the Kobayashi endpoint, add your API key, and run your existing Chat Completions code with minimal changes.
Your prompts and outputs are never used to train models and are not retained after processing — only usage metadata is kept for billing. Inference runs entirely in Kobayashi data centers and is never forwarded to third-party model providers.
All traffic is encrypted with TLS, and every request is authenticated with an API key. Create multiple keys for your teams and applications, and rotate or revoke them at any time.
Build real applications, not just chat: streaming responses (SSE), tool/function calling, and image input are supported on compatible models.
02Hardware
03Architecture
Our RTX PRO 6000 GPUs connect over PCIe. Instead of splitting a model across several GPUs — where every generated token waits on inter-GPU communication — we run each model instance entirely on one 96 GB GPU.
Each GPU serves a complete model
04API
Already using the OpenAI Chat Completions API? Switch to Kobayashi by changing your base URL, API key, and model name. We support:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://<kobayashi-api-endpoint>/v1",
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
model="<model-id>",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
if chunk.choices:
print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "",
end="", flush=True)
