Mirai raised $10M seed funding to build an on-device AI inference engine for Apple Silicon, claiming 37% faster generation speeds through platform-specific optimizations in Rust. Founded by Reface and Prisma creators, their 14-person London team targets a critical gap: with 80% of AI inference projected to shift to edge devices in 2026, developers need Stripe-simple integration, not ML teams and months of setup. Their 8-line SDK and hybrid cloud orchestration layer signal a strategic bet on developer experience amid the growing economics pressure of cloud inference costs. This positions on-device AI as infrastructure, not just a feature. #EdgeAI #OnDeviceAI #AIInfrastructure
