About .Wave
.Wave builds a continuous inference engine for streaming AI models, including full-duplex voice and streaming speech recognition. Customers bring their models; we integrate and run them, managing execution, session state, and scheduling to reduce end-to-end latency and serving cost per live session. We use cadenced inference to support more concurrent sessions per GPU while keeping latency low and consistent.
