aqDeveloper environment for foundation models

Environments, libraries and frameworks for foundation models.

We're an AI research lab for foundation models. We reverse engineer, interpret and build environments, libraries and frameworks. Our dream is to accelerate ML development with precision and intent for all, enabling safer and better ML across physics, life sciences, industrial, frontier and critical verticals.

We're heading towards a future where foundation models play a significant role across physics, life sciences, industrial, and frontier verticals, and it's critical we find ways to develop and train them better and safer. We're building aq, developer environment for foundation models built with frameworks, libraries, tools and autonomous agents helping design, test, and refine models. aq is built for precision and intent. Think Next.js for JS, but for ML, handling architectural, experiments, and building AI the way it should be built, deliberately, not by guessing.

LAION

Building an interpretable VLM that maps text and vision towers on top of OpenCLIP.

KAIST

Using interpretability tooling for preference detection analysis in LLMs.

AEIA Lab

Training SAEs on a LLM to sense conflict, ambiguity, and tone, and choose the right response.

Zyogen

Building interpretable medical vision transformers and diffusion models.

What labs build with aq

Training a ViT on wound recovery imaging, then interpreting it to distill a prediction system.

Finding features that drive recovery signals, then building and distilling leaner predictor to be able to inspect.

Mapping correlations between the human brain and LLM neural nets.

Building a testbed for drugs and cures aimed at Alzheimer's, dementia, and schizophrenia.

Finding deceptive features for AI safety.

Locating and studying deceptive features before they become failure modes for AI safety.

Finding if models have mechanistic representation of their context exhaustion.

What happens inside when a model knows the window is ending, when it knows it is about to die.

Interpreting and quantizing world models.

Reading how a model represents the world, then compressing that structure so it stays inspectable and usable.

What researchers are solving with aq

We work with frontier labs, research groups, universities, and companies training their own models, from classical ML to foundation models and everything in between.
