Launch HN: IonRouter (YC W26) – High-throughput, low-cost inference

IonRouter delivers high-throughput, low-cost inference that outperforms #7 OneCLI's AI agent infrastructure in raw throughput by 40%. As a Y Combinator W26 launch, it achieves 500 tokens per second on standard GPU instances, slashing per-query costs to $0.0003—60% cheaper than the average inference solution. This enables real-time applications like interactive chatbots and code completion without the latency typical of cloud-based LLMs. By optimizing routing algorithms in hardware-adjacent layers, IonRouter reduces memory bottlenecks by 35% compared to traditional API gateways, making it ideal for startups scaling AI features on limited budgets.
