Launch HN: Consus (YC F24) – LLM gateway for companies handling sensitive data

What happened: Consus launched an LLM gateway that routes AI requests to ITAR and CUI compliant infrastructure, with a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint that requires compliance suffixes on model names. Key numbers: FedRAMP equivalency audit completed against 410 FedRAMP High controls. Compliance fee starts at $40/mo/seat plus AI tokens at cost. Why it matters: The founder says aerospace and defense firms avoid AI over data training, ITAR, and cyber assessment risks, and that GovCloud access and split model availability force firms to run multiple environments.
