Consus launches LLM gateway for ITAR and CUI-restricted AI requests

Consus, a Y Combinator F24 company, launches an LLM gateway that routes AI requests to infrastructure it says is compliant with ITAR restrictions and controlled unclassified information (CUI) requirements.

The product targets aerospace and defense firms that handle CUI. Founder Eric says Consus itself satisfies ITAR restrictions and has completed a FedRAMP equivalency audit against the 410 FedRAMP High controls.

The launch was announced in a Hacker News "Launch HN" post on October 13, 2026. The post is the only source reporting these claims, and the audit result is stated by the founder without an outside verifier cited.
