Launch HN: Consus (YC F24) – LLM gateway for companies handling sensitive data

Consus is a platform that enables companies to use AI tools while handling sensitive data by providing a compliant AI inference layer that integrates with various AI tools and workflows. The platform satisfies ITAR restrictions, has completed a FedRAMP High equivalency audit, and does not store customer data at rest. Consus offers a compliance suffix for model names and allows customers to build an allowlist of models, manage spend and model restrictions, and integrate with various cloud providers. The platform is not self-serve and requires verification of organizations and a contract before issuing API keys, with a starting compliance fee of $40/month/seat plus AI tokens at cost.
