"Cambodia is uniquely positioned to leapfrog into the AI era — not by importing solutions, but by building capabilities that are rooted in our people, our institutions, and our aspirations."

— International entrepreneurs, 12 years shaping Cambodia's digital landscape

Our Mission

Rooted in Cambodia. Built for Impact.

Inference Loops was founded by a team of international entrepreneurs who have lived, built, and invested in Cambodia for over 12 years. We've witnessed the country's digital transformation from the inside — and we believe the AI revolution will not be outsourced. For Cambodia to thrive in the age of intelligent systems, we must build domestic capacity — in policy, in enterprise, and in education.

Our work with government ministries, private enterprises, and academic institutions creates AI strategies that are locally relevant, ethically grounded, and globally competitive.

Global Talent, Local Roots

International AI Workforce

We build and deploy engineering teams from Cambodia — combining global talent standards with Southeast Asian cost advantage.

Our model is simple: we recruit world-class engineers — both Cambodian and international expats based in Phnom Penh — and deploy them to clients worldwide. We handle hiring, compliance, invoicing, and delivery management. You get a curated team, one invoice, and zero overhead.

Top-Tier Vetted engineers, global standards

40–60% Cost savings vs SG/HK/EU

GMT+7 Overlap with APAC, AU, Europe

English Native-level, expat + local talent

AI & ML Engineering

Custom model development, fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, MLOps, and production AI systems built by experienced engineers.

Full-Stack & Infrastructure

Web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and microservices — end-to-end delivery from concept to deployment.

Data Engineering & Pipelines

ETL pipelines, data lakes, training data curation, and quality assurance — the data backbone your AI team needs.

Technical Project Management

Delivery management, agile coaching, client communication, and vendor coordination — keeping your initiative on track.

How We Build Your AI Team

We don't staff bodies against a job description. We assemble small, senior-led teams shaped around your problem — and run them on the same agentic practices we write about on our blog.

Source from a deep regional pool

We recruit across Southeast Asia — Cambodian engineers from RUPP, ITC, and Phnom Penh's fast-growing startup scene, alongside international specialists based in the region. Every hire is vetted for craft and curiosity, not just credentials.

Assemble around your problem

Instead of generalists juggling everything, we compose a team of specialists — agent engineers, full-stack, data and platform — matched to your stack, your codebase, and your definition of done.

Run on real agentic practice

Our teams build the way we write: loop and harness engineering, evals as the verification gate, and guardrails before autonomy. They're fluent in the tooling that actually ships — Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP.

We handle hiring, compliance, and delivery

Recruiting, contracts, local compliance, invoicing, and delivery management sit with us. You get a curated team, one invoice, and a single point of accountability — with zero operational overhead on your side.

What Loop Engineering Delivers

Illustrative examples of the agentic systems we build, drawn from real patterns across fintech, logistics, and public services in Southeast Asia. Names are withheld and figures are representative of the outcomes this work targets.

Fintech · Cambodia

Overnight compliance review for a digital lender

Problem

A fast-growing digital lender drowned in manual loan-application review. Compliance officers checked each file by hand against KYC and central-bank rules — a two-to-three-day backlog that capped growth and let inconsistent decisions slip through.

Solution

We built a loop-engineered review agent: a harness that assembles each applicant's documents, runs an LLM against a codified rulebook of local compliance requirements, and gates every decision through a verification step. Anything ambiguous is escalated to a human with the reasoning attached; everything logged for audit.

Results

8× faster application review

92% of cases auto-cleared, rest escalated

0 compliance breaches across the pilot

Logistics · SEA startup

A data pipeline that runs itself overnight

Problem

A regional marketplace startup had three engineers spending most of their week babysitting brittle data pipelines — reconciling supplier feeds, catching format drift, and re-running failed jobs by hand. Engineering time went to maintenance instead of product.

Solution

We replaced the cron-and-pray setup with an agent loop that monitors every feed, diagnoses failures, repairs the common ones autonomously, and only pages a human when it hits something genuinely new. Guardrails and an eval suite keep it honest; the whole system was specced, built, and shipped from a written specification.

Results

70% less manual data-ops time

24/7 autonomous pipeline operation

3 wks from spec to production

Representative scenarios based on the patterns and methods we deploy. Client names withheld; metrics illustrate target outcomes, not a specific contract.

A Bad Loop Ships Bad Code Faster: Evals Are the Real Discipline

Everyone is racing to make agents act autonomously. Almost nobody is as eager to make them act correctly. But once generation is cheap and parallel, the only constraint left is trust — and a loop you can't trust just produces wrong work at scale. This is the case for evals as the new test suite: the verification gate, the agent-as-judge, the golden dataset of real failures, and why building one is the most defensible engineering a Southeast Asian team can do.

Agentic AISystem Design

Agentic System Design: A Complete Guide

Designing an agentic system is different from designing a normal one: you're not specifying functionality, you're specifying behavior. The hard questions are about autonomy, feedback loops, failure modes, and guardrails — not endpoints and schemas. Here's a practical guide to designing agents that stay safe as they scale: start small, log every decision, make observability a first-class feature, and wire the circuit breakers before you need them.

Cambodia's AI Opportunity: Why Now Is the Moment

A June 2026 data refresh on Cambodia's AI moment. A median age of 26, mobile connections at 121% of the population, a $150M AI market spanning 1,200 AI-powered enterprises and 5,400 AI workers, and a draft National AI Strategy aiming for $3.35–6.7B in GDP by 2030. Here's the real state of play — the momentum, the honest gaps, and why the agentic shift tilts the field toward exactly the kind of engineering Cambodia can do.

Context EngineeringAgentic AI

Context Engineering: The Context Window Is Your Agent's Real Bottleneck

As agents run longer, the binding constraint stops being model intelligence and becomes the context window. A 2026 benchmark found an agent given only its last five tool calls plus a running summary hit 91.6% task completion while a full-history agent managed just 71% — using 64% fewer tokens and finishing in 40% of the time. More context made it worse. Here's why 'context rot' happens, why less context produces better agents, and the practical toolkit for engineering what the model sees — a high-leverage, GPU-free discipline.
