Leaders in Open-Source Artificial Intellgence
Fueled by curiosity, driven by innovation, and committed to excellence in AI alignment.
Meet the TeamAt Alignment Lab AI, we believe artificial intelligence is too important to be controlled by a handful of corporations. Our role is to work alongside developers, researchers, and visionaries to solve humanity's greatest challenge: ensuring AI serves all people, not just the powerful few.
We go beyond traditional AI research. We build hardware, develop open-source software, foster community, and create economic models that distribute power rather than concentrate it. From revolutionary compute systems to extensible AI platforms, we create technological frameworks that put individuals in control of their AI future.
Our community spans independent developers, academic researchers, privacy advocates, and technology pioneers. They seek us out to actively participate in shaping AI's future, valuing the chance to contribute and innovate beyond API subscriptions.

What drives us is simple: we aim to be the laboratory that proves decentralized, transparent, and aligned AI is superior. These might be ideals to corporations, but to us, they're requirements.
We believe powerful AI without distributed ownership is dangerous and distributed ownership without transparency is impossible.
Alignment Lab AI was built to deliver both.
We're not here to just build models. We're here to transform the entire AI ecosystem from centralized extraction to distributed ownership. That's our standard.
