Training and serving AI models in Africa is expensive. GPU capacity is scarce, international cloud services are priced in hard currency, and paying without a foreign credit card can be impossible.
Yamify, a startup founded in Kinshasa, DR Congo, is tackling this head-on with a cloud platform often described as the "Heroku for AI".
Managed GPU Compute
Developers spin up GPU instances straight from the dashboard and pay only for what they use — no long procurement cycles, no international credit card required.
Model Deployment Made Simple
Yamify provides managed services for deploying trained models as APIs, letting small teams ship AI products without running their own servers.
