The fastest hosted LLM, exposed as a plain OpenAI endpoint.
Tachyon is an inference proxy that exposes the world's fastest hosted LLM — Taalas HC1 silicon running Llama 3.1 8B — as a plain OpenAI-compatible endpoint. No SDK changes. No custom integrations. Just point your existing OpenAI client at Tachyon and get ~17,000 tokens per second with sub-4ms time-to-first-token.
Your application sends a standard OpenAI-compatible request to the Tachyon proxy. The proxy forwards the payload to Taalas HC1 silicon, where Llama 3.1 8B is hardwired directly into custom hardware. Because the model weights live in silicon rather than DRAM, inference happens with negligible memory latency.
The full response is buffered on the HC1 and streamed back to your application as an SSE token stream. At ~17,000 tokens per second, the entire round-trip — including network overhead — completes in under five milliseconds. This is roughly an order of magnitude faster than GPU-based inference providers.
