About Induction Labs

We are scaling foundation models that are curious about the world.

We’ve seen general intelligence appear exactly once, and its hallmark has been curiosity: a dissatisfaction with what we already know about the world, an ability to learn from world experience, and a disposition to share knowledge with other individuals. Across generations, these human traits have built modern science, technology, and culture.

We think superintelligence will come from models that work the same way: learning from their own observation, updating as they go, growing what they know. These models will start from what humanity knows and discover past us.

We believe that scaling curious intelligence is a defining problem of our time. If solved, we will live to see a new era of technological advances, scientific understanding, and human flourishing.
