Hi PH! I'm building Lumis Compute to solve AI latency & FX friction for UK/EU startups.

Hi everyone!

I’m the founder of Lumis Compute, currently scaling our infrastructure between Asia and London.

Having spent a lot of time in the AI space, I noticed a recurring frustration for developers in the UK and Europe: Inference Latency and Currency Friction. Most startups are forced to use US endpoints and pay in USD, losing 3-5% on every transaction while dealing with sub-optimal performance for local users.

We’ve built Lumis Compute to fix this. We provide a specialized gateway (partnered with BytePlus) that offers:

• Localized London Nodes: High-performance access to DeepSeek-V3 and Doubao-Pro.

• Multi-Currency Settlement: Pay natively in GBP, EUR, or USD to eliminate FX overhead.

• Enterprise-Grade Scalability: Wholesale rates for 128k/256k context models.

I'm here to connect with fellow builders, learn from your scaling stories, and offer support to anyone looking to optimize their AI COGS in the region.

If you're building in the UK/EU and want to benchmark our London nodes, I’m happy to provide free test credits for the community. Just drop a comment or DM me!

Looking forward to growing with you all.

Best,

Mr. Fu Founder & CEO | Lumis Compute
