Samir Menon @blintzbase and I are thrilled to announce Sail @sailresearchco ! We build infrastructure for long-horizon agents: inference served at unbeatable prices-per-token for open models, plus sandboxes designed to run for days, weeks, or longer.

We've raised $80M, w/ our seed led by @Sequoia and series A led by @KleinerPerkins. We're using this capital to build the most efficient infrastructure for long-horizon agents.

What makes agents so different? Unlike a human waiting at a keyboard (top priority: speed), agents need scale, reliability, and sustainable cost. Sail finds this efficiency everywhere in the stack: we carefully choose our chips, write custom inference engines, and run a global controller that fully utilizes every computer in our fleet. Tight integration from silicon to API lets Sail open up the cost / latency frontier to our customers - the most patient agents can now access 10x more intelligence per dollar.

We're excited to be working with great companies like @parallelweb, @detaildotdev,@Jackandjillai, and @quadrillion_ai to deploy long-horizon agents with trillions of tokens.

Our team is thoughtful in our engineering craft and relentlessly ambitious in our pursuit of peak performance. We previously trained at companies like NVIDIA, OpenAI, Google, and so many trading firms. Now we're ready to do the work that will define our careers, in the most compute intensive market of all time.

Welcome to the era of abundant intelligence. We can't wait to build with you!

One of my favorite memories of Neil is from last summer, when a few of us gathered around him at lunch and he started breaking down all the technical details of infrastructure, chips, and so much more.

Congrats on the launch!!

@kleinerperkins is thrilled to lead the Series A of @sailresearchco and I'm pumped to have joined the board. Agents executing complex work end to end is the ultimate promise of AI, but they are also extremely token hungry. With exploding token volumes, latency stops being the bottleneck. Cost and throughput become everything. Businesses simply cannot afford their inference bills in the age of agents and we're already seeing signs of the tokenmaxxing era running into budget caps, leaving tons of demand for intelligence unmet.

@neilmovva and @blintzbase are two of the most precocious builders I've met and are building Sail to meet the moment. They are building *the* inference platform for long horizon agents that will enable every business to run their agents with maximum efficiency and lowest cost. In addition, they have built world class observability (Sail Voyages) and a stateful sandbox (Sailboxes) positioning Sail to be the one place where you operate and run your most critical agents.
