Cactus, a Y Combinator-backed startup, enables local AI inference to mobile phones, wearables, and other low-power devices through cross-platform, energy-efficient kernels and a native runtime. It delivers sub-50ms time-to-first-token for on-device inference, eliminates network latency, and defaults to complete privacy.
