About

Pathway is shaking the foundations of artificial intelligence by introducing the world's first post-transformer frontier model that solves continual learning. The company's breakthrough architecture, called BDH, outperforms traditional Transformer models and provides enterprises with full visibility into how the model works. By combining this foundational model with the fastest data processing engine on the market, Pathway enables organizations to move beyond incremental optimization toward truly contextualized, experience-driven intelligence.

The company was founded in 2020 by Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who built a team of AI pioneers including CTO Jan Chorowski (who worked with Nobel laureate Geoff Hinton at Google Brain and was the first to apply Attention to speech) and CSO Adrian Kosowski (a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at age 20). Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California with additional offices in Paris, France and Wroclaw, Poland. The company is backed by leading investors including TQ Ventures and Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer architecture, and is trusted by enterprise clients such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams.
