01 / Craft
Care about the details.
From the way a model is trained to the way a limitation is explained, the small decisions add up. We try to make them thoughtfully.
The company / Basically us
We take the work seriously. We think there's room to enjoy it, too.
01 /Who we are
basically AI is a small, independent company building and studying artificial intelligence.
We started with a desire to make interesting things and understand how they work. That curiosity still shapes what we choose to build, the questions we ask, and the work we share.
We're not organized around one model size or one grand prediction. Our work includes Pebble, an open language model family, and VOID, our AI safety research initiative. They approach AI from different directions, and both give us something concrete to learn from.
We want to be thoughtful about the technology and straightforward about its limits. There is enough hype in AI already. We'd like to contribute some good work.
02 /What matters here
01 / Craft
From the way a model is trained to the way a limitation is explained, the small decisions add up. We try to make them thoughtfully.
02 / Honesty
We share the work for what it is today. Research doesn't need to masquerade as a product to be worth doing.
03 / Openness
Open releases and clear documentation give other people something to inspect, learn from, and build on.
04 / Curiosity
Serious work can begin with a strange question. We leave room for those questions, and for a sense of humor along the way.
Questions, collaborations, or a simple hello. We're listening.
