Why we started this.
The founding team has spent the last decade shipping production software at venture-backed startups across e-commerce, fintech, and machine-learning infrastructure. In the last two years, every interesting engineering problem we've seen has had an LLM somewhere in the middle of it — and every one of those LLM features has shipped with the same kinds of preventable production failures.
We launched QiYuan Labs LLC in May 2026, registered in Wyoming, to fix that gap. Senior engineers building the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps AI features running — evaluation, retrieval, guardrails, cost telemetry — and the SaaS and commerce systems those features depend on. Honest scopes, written estimates, and a handoff that includes runbooks, monitoring, and the keys.
Today we work with founders shipping AI-native products, e-commerce brands integrating AI into their stack, and operators who need an embedded technical partner without the cost of a full in-house team.
