RunAnywhere
RunAnywhere provides faster, cheaper inference for open AI models through Wally, a cloud service offering one API key and CLI for frontier open models, plus open-source SDKs for on-device deployment. The platform supports ten models with zero data retention by default and works with coding agents like OpenCode and Claude Code.

Problem
Cloud-based AI inference incurs high latency and recurring compute costs, making real-time, privacy-sensitive applications impractical at scale, especially for billions of end-users and regulated industries. Additionally, frontier open models are difficult to serve efficiently, requiring specialized infrastructure that most developers and small teams lack.
Solution
RunAnywhere delivers faster, cheaper inference for open models through two complementary offerings. Wally is a cloud service that hosts frontier open models behind a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint and a CLI, allowing developers to connect coding agents like OpenCode, Claude Code, and Codex in one command. The company also provides open-source SDKs with a unified C++ core and bindings for Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, TypeScript, and C++, enabling on-device inference across Apple Silicon and Android hardware. Their MetalRT engine for Apple Silicon and QHexRT engine for Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs are built by an agentic kernel pipeline and achieve benchmark-leading performance, such as 658 tokens/s decode and 6.6ms time-to-first-token. Wally runs with zero data retention by default, and usage is billed against prepaid credits purchased in the console.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mobile app developers, enterprise product teams, and regulated-industry vendors (healthcare, finance, telecom) needing real-time, privacy-preserving AI, as well as development teams running coding agents or products on open models who want to move away from closed-model dependencies.
Features
- Wally cloud API with one endpoint and one API key for ten open models, including Kimi K3, GLM-5.3, MiniMax M3, and DeepSeek V4 family
- OpenAI-compatible API at inference.runanywhere.ai/v1, enabling drop-in integration with existing OpenAI clients
- Wally CLI that connects coding agents (OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex) to hosted models in one command
- Fast model versions tuned for agent loops and latency-sensitive workloads
- Open-source SDKs with one C++ core and six bindings: Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, TypeScript, and C++
- MetalRT engine for Apple Silicon supporting LLM, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and vision-language models with hand-written Metal Shading Language kernels
- QHexRT engine for Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs, with LLM support live and other modalities in development
- Zero data retention by default on production Wally, with no storage of prompts or completion bodies
- Prepaid credit system managed through the console with usage tracking and spend monitoring
