We follow the questions; the answers become products.
A group of researchers pursuing the hardest problems we can find — and turning what we learn into products and partnerships.
Research is the origin. Products and partnerships are what it produces.
We don't start from a roadmap. We start from the questions we can't stop thinking about — and follow them until they turn into something real.
A collective, not an agency.
We're a group of people who share a set of questions and pursue them together. Everything the lab produces traces back to that.
The questions
Open problems in AI worth years of attention, pursued out of genuine interest rather than a roadmap.
The products
When the work produces something worth shipping, it becomes a product — like Vectora, our research platform.
The partnerships
When a client's problem lines up with what we're already exploring, we take it on as a partnership.
The questions we're following.
Our work spans a few directions. Each one is a thread we're actively pulling.
LLM efficiency & cost optimization
Making large models cheaper to run without giving up quality.
Agentic systems
Systems that plan, use tools, and carry out multi-step work reliably.
Retrieval & research tooling
Better ways to find, read, and organize a field's literature.
Applied ML & data science
Turning messy real-world data into models that hold up in production.
LLM security
Defending models against prompt injection, data leakage, and training-data poisoning.
Privacy-preserving AI
Learning from sensitive data without centralizing it, through federated learning.
Neural topology
The intersection of algebraic topology, neuroscience, and AI — how network shape drives computation.
Alignment & hallucination reduction
Cutting false outputs with constitutional distillation, self-rewarding methods, and rigorous data curation.
Vectora
A research platform for people who read papers for a living. Discover work through meaning, not keywords; ask an AI about any paper; and keep everything in a versioned research workspace you can share with collaborators.
It's the clearest example of our research becoming a product. Early access is coming.

We take on a limited number of engagements — the ones where the work teaches us something and moves our own research forward.
