About Us

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems—robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. This kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.

Our team consists of creative, open-minded, caring, and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things, and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team.
