Herdora Launches: Fix Slow ML Inference With One Line of Code
"Profile your inference pipeline in < 60 seconds with one line of code"
TL;DR Herdora is reverse engineering GPUs to give ML engineers the profiling tools they actually need. Cut inference latency by 50%+ with one line of code.

Founded by Steven Arellano & Emilio Andere
Today, Herdora is releasing Keys & Caches. They aim to solve one of the most frustrating problems in ML infrastructure: you can't see why your model is slow.
🔥 The Problem
If you're running any ML models in production, you know the pain:
- Your inference is inexplicably slow but existing profilers give you walls of incomprehensible data
- You're burning through GPU budget without knowing why
- You miss SLAs because you can't find the actual bottlenecks
- torch.profiler either overwhelms you with noise or misses the real issues entirely

⚡ Their Solution
The team is reverse engineering NVIDIA GPUs to understand how they execute ML workloads. With Keys & Caches:
- Add one decorator to your code
- Get clear, actionable traces showing exactly where time and memory go
- Drill down from Python to CUDA to PTX - see every layer of the stack
- Find and fix bottlenecks in minutes, not days
Here's what it looks like in action.

They have already helped a team optimize their Llama deployment and cut latency by 67% by identifying a single overlooked kernel that was eating 40% of runtime. Read the full case study.
