Most AI teams hit the same wall:

Great product… but inference costs kill scalability.

At Pruna, we empower teams with our faster, cheaper, smaller, and greener performance models.

To support builders early, we’re launching the Pruna Build Program — designed to reward teams that actually use and scale.

Start Building. Unlock More As You Grow.

  • Start with $300 in free credits

  • Unlock up to $3900 total credits

  • Get access to support and optimization as you scale

No heavy application. No waiting.

Just build—and we’ll support you as you go.

Who This Is For

This program is for teams:

  • researching and building AI products (SaaS, APIs, infra, etc.)

  • running or planning real workloads

  • who care about cost, speed, and efficiency

You don’t need to be incorporated, but you should be building something real.

How It Works

The program is simple:

👉 The more you use Pruna, the more you unlock.

Why We Built It This Way

We don’t believe in giving away credits to projects that never ship.

Instead, we reward:

  • teams that actually build

  • products that reach real usage

  • founders who care about efficiency

If you're serious about scaling AI, this program is built for you.

What You Get Beyond Credits

As you progress, you unlock more than just credits. We help you:

  • generate high-quality content

  • reduce inference costs

  • reduce latency

  • reduce infrastructure overhead
