PhD-Level AI Research. Without Building a Lab.
What We Do

PhD-Level AI Research. Without Building a Lab.

Execute high-risk, high-reward AI research without diverting your core engineering team. We provide the PhD-level talent to tackle your hardest unsolved problems.

Production Kills
Innovation.

Your internal team is consumed by bug fixes, maintenance, and shipping features. They don't have the bandwidth to read the latest arXiv papers or experiment with novel architectures.

Too Hard
Talent Scarcity
Resource Drain
Too Hard

Important problems get ignored because they require niche mathematical expertise.

Talent Scarcity

Elite AI researchers are rare and expensive, slowing down experimentation and delivery.

Resource Drain

Internal teams burn cycles on maintenance and bug fixes instead of novel R&D.

Exploratory
Capabilities

We bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application.

Exploratory capabilities
01

Feasibility Studies

"Can AI actually solve this?" We conduct rapid literature reviews and initial experiments to validate a problem is solvable before you invest millions.

02

Novel Algorithm Design

When off-the-shelf models fail, we build custom architectures. From geometric deep learning to specialized reinforcement learning agents.

03

Model Fine-Tuning & Optimization

We adapt state-of-the-art (SOTA) open-source models (Llama, Mistral, Stable Diffusion) to your specific domain data, maximizing performance while minimizing compute costs.

04

Benchmarking & Validation

Rigorous testing of your existing models against industry baselines to prove efficacy and safety.

Led by Researchers,
Not Marketers

Our team is composed of published authors and domain experts who live on the bleeding edge of AI.

Arjun is a great researcher / scientist / and entrepreneur. I first learned about his research at MPI on his movie-reshape work that made a big splash in the community, and subsequently I managed to recruit him to come to NYU as a post doc in our lab, where he kept pushing state of the art research in 3D people estimation with conv nets. This was during a time where conv nets made the next leap, and Arjun was one of the pioneers working in my lab to tackle people tracking with conv nets. He also collaborated with Yann Lecun's lab, as well as kept collaborating internationally with other leading research teams. It was a joy to work with him, he was a very productive and strong researcher!

Yann LeCun

I had the pleasure of working with Arjun while he was a PhD student at NYU. We co-authored a number of papers together on deep unsupervised learning methods. Unsupervised learning and deep learning are very popular topics today, but Arjun worked on this before much of the world had even heard of deep learning. He co-authored some of the very early work on body pose estimation and object localization with convolutional networks.

I have been working with Arjun and his team for over four years now. Together we have been working and solving complex AI computer vision problems in the space of Autonomous driving Software. Arjun brings with him a very deep understanding of how to apply AI in the autonomous driving space. His connection to academia and industry differentiates his contribution from being just theoretical research and more towards application research. Arjun’s team working on the projects are brilliant, resourceful and extremely effective at cracking very difficult problems and delivering state of the art CV software. I highly recommend Arjun and his engineers for their deep knowledge on AI CV , along with their excellent professionalism. It has been great working with Arjun and team over the last many years.
