RunAnywhere

About RunAnywhere

Access to intelligence is a fundamental human right. We exist to make it universal.

That is our mission, in the words of our CEO, Sanchit Monga. In practice it means faster, cheaper inference: the best open models, quick and affordable for anyone who builds with them.

Our story

How we got here

  1. 2019

    Sanchit and Shubham meet as students at RIT.

  2. 2025

    We start RunAnywhere to run AI on the devices people already own.

  3. Winter 2026

    We go through Y Combinator and open-source the RunAnywhere SDKs.

  4. March to June 2026

    Our AI agents build engines for the Apple Neural Engine and Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs, and we publish every result with its method.

  5. September 2026

    The models people want no longer fit on a phone or a laptop, so we launch Wally to host frontier open models.

  6. October 2026

    Wally's catalog grows to ten models, with fast versions for agent loops.

What we believe

Three things guide the work

01

Faster, cheaper inference is how access grows

Every time a model gets faster and a token gets cheaper, more people can build with intelligence. Pushing both is the work we care about most.

02

AI agents build the stack

Speed and cost are decided by the kernels and the serving stack. Our AI agents build them end to end, and every result is checked on the hardware it runs on.

03

Publish the method with the number

Every result we publish names its model, workload, hardware and date, with the data behind it. If a number changes, we correct it in public.

Founders

The people behind it

Sanchit Monga

Co-founder and CEO

Sanchit built mobile apps and SDKs at Intuit before starting RunAnywhere. He leads product, Wally and the company.

Shubham Malhotra

Co-founder and CTO

Shubham worked on infrastructure at Microsoft Azure and AWS. He leads the serving platform and the engine work.

A small team of engineers works with them, directing the AI agents that build the kernels and the serving stack, and shipping the console and the SDKs.
