Research Agenda

Three directions that shaped the platform.

Scaling out

The program looked beyond a single model toward societies of agents that learn through experience, collaborate with people, and develop collective intelligence over time.

Reasoning

Core work focused on structured reasoning, compositional generalization, memory, and neural systems that can infer new knowledge from prior knowledge.

Alignment

Truthfulness, values, safety, and civilization-scale impact were treated as system design questions rather than afterthoughts.

Funding

Selected support behind the work.
