What SciPhi was
SciPhi offered managed deployment for R2R, an open-source retrieval system with document ingestion, hybrid search, knowledge graphs, agentic RAG, citations, and a REST API. Its purpose was to help developers move retrieval applications from a prototype into a hosted production environment.
The former SciPhi website, cloud endpoints, and documentation are no longer maintained as an active product surface. Y Combinator now lists the company from the same Winter 2024 lineage as Event Horizon Labs, an AI research company focused on investing. The public R2R repository remains available for teams that want to examine or self-host the framework.
Past capabilities
What SciPhi offered
Multimodal ingestion
R2R was designed to ingest documents and media across formats for retrieval workflows.
Hybrid and graph retrieval
The framework combined semantic and keyword search and could construct knowledge graphs.
Agentic RAG API
Later R2R versions added citation-backed retrieval and multi-step research through a REST API.

Why this listing is historical
Historical pricing advertised a Free Cloud tier, a $25-per-month Dev Cloud tier, and custom Enterprise service. These prices are archival and are not current offers.
- SciPhi Cloud is no longer an active hosted product under that name.
- The former website and hosted documentation are no longer maintained.
- Historical plan limits and prices should not be treated as purchasable offers.
