About RunAnywhere
RunAnywhere runs open-weight models at full speed wherever a company needs them. Wally is our inference stack for open models: serverless inference, BYOC, or on-prem, so code and data never leave their network. One command puts a Wally-served model inside Claude Code, DeepSeek Harness, OpenCode, Hermes, OpenClaw, etc. When a model fits on the device, the same tooling runs it locally through our open-source SDKs for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and web, built on kernels written by our agentic harness for Apple and Qualcomm silicon (10K+ GitHub stars).
