Team
We're not so different from most frontier labs in some ways: we have world-class researchers, olympiad medalists, and operators from top labs and firms like DeepMind, Jane Street, Palantir, a16z crypto, and leading universities worldwide.
But, where we differ, is that we're the only lab combining the frontiers of artificial intelligence, cryptography, algorithmic game theory, and distributed systems in a unified way.
