Founded in 2025, Thinking Machines Lab is an organization focused on making artificial intelligence systems more widely understood, customizable, and generally capable. Its work centers on human-AI collaboration, multimodal AI, AI systems understanding, and AI customization, with an emphasis on open science through publications and code releases.
The team brings experience from several widely used AI products and foundational open-source projects. These include ChatGPT, Character.ai, and the deep learning framework PyTorch.
The lab's stated focus on human-AI collaboration rather than full autonomy, combined with its commitment to open science, distinguishes its approach within the AI research landscape. Further details on team size, funding, and geographic presence have not been publicly disclosed.
