What is SocketRun?
Inference Infrastructure as Code — for the future of Edge AI. We bring AI to life. AI. Anywhere.
Our Mission
To make deploying machine learning and LLM models at the edge as easy, fast, and secure as deploying code in the cloud.
We believe AI doesn't belong locked in distant data centers.
It belongs on devices, in the field, at the edge — where decisions are made in real time.
Why we are doing this now?
Today’s AI deployment pipelines are slow, cloud-dependent, and expensive.
Meanwhile, edge devices are growing more powerful — but developers lack the tools to confidently run inference where it matters most.
We created SocketRun to solve this.
It’s a GitOps-inspired platform that lets teams:
Deploy models with a single CLI command
Keep data and inference local to the edge
Run on their own hardware
Monitor results in real time
It’s everything you need to run AI anywhere — without cloud lock-in, latency, or cost.
Who are we building it for?
We’re building for:
Developers shipping models to devices in the field
AI/ML teams needing rapid iteration on edge inference
Enterprise teams solving for privacy, bandwidth, and uptime
Robotics, industrial, healthcare, and smart infrastructure
Whether you're deploying a YOLO model to a drone or a transformer to a wearable — SocketRun is the infrastructure layer you've been missing.
What We Believe
Inference is infrastructure — and it should be codified
Developers deserve better edge tools
The future is hybrid — cloud + edge, not either/or
Speed and simplicity are the ultimate force multiplier
What’s Next?
We’re building in public, engaging with early developers and enterprise pilot partners.
We’re launching:
An open source CLI
Ready-to-deploy model packs
A vibrant community around edge AI ops

We’re just getting started — and we’d love your help.
