Consus

Consus, a startup from Y Combinator's Fall 2024 batch, has launched an LLM gateway aimed at companies that handle sensitive data. The tool lets businesses route AI model requests while keeping control over confidential information, addressing privacy and compliance concerns that often block enterprise AI adoption. Hacker News users are discussing the launch and its approach to data security.

Eric, founder of Consus, a Y Combinator F24 startup, has launched a gateway that routes AI requests to infrastructure compliant with ITAR restrictions and controlled unclassified information (CUI) rules. The company says the platform itself meets ITAR requirements, letting companies in regulated industries use large language models without exposing sensitive data. The launch drew attention on Hacker News, where readers debated the compliance claims.
