@relace_ai has raised $23M to build the rails for AI code generation.
This round is led by
@a16z, with participation from
@matrixvc and
@ycombinator.
LLMs have proven they can write code—but scaling that code into production still needs better infrastructure.
Relace is building exactly that: the infra layer where models and systems are co-optimized for code generation.
We’ve already shipped:
- The fastest apply model on OpenRouter (10k tok/s)
- State-of-the-art code reranking and embeddings models
These models have already processed tens of millions of requests from customers like Lovable, Magic Patterns, and Orchids.
Now, we’re taking it a step further: with Relace Repos, we’re working on a new source control system that’s built for the age of AI-generated code, with native retrieval and deep integration into our models.
