Explore AI Inc. · Team

Small by design.
Built across disciplines.

We bring together long-horizon company building, hands-on AI research, and production engineering to turn ambitious ideas into systems people can examine and use.

Founding team

Experience on both sides
of the research horizon.

Biographies are intentionally abbreviated while our research and products remain in development. We believe the clearest account of a team is the quality, care, and usefulness of the work it creates.

Co-founderCompany building & operations

Patient operating experience.

A founder with more than 20 years of experience building and operating businesses. At Explore AI, they support the company’s development and operations with a long-term perspective.

Co-founderResearch & technology

Research translated into systems.

An AI researcher and software engineer developing learning systems across language, reinforcement learning, and scientific discovery. Their background combines research in efficient and multimodal models with engineering experience across cloud, compute, and life-science AI.

Educated across highly selective programs in China and the United States, they bring a systems perspective to turning ambitious research into dependable products.

Research directions

One question,
many surfaces.

How can intelligent systems become more capable while remaining legible to the people who rely on them?

  1. 01

    Reasoning that can be checked

    Learning systems centered on explicit evidence, measurable outcomes, and feedback that can be inspected.

  2. 02

    Systems that improve from experience

    Agents that can evaluate their own work, learn from consequence, and revise a plan without hiding the path between attempts.

  3. 03

    AI for scientific discovery

    Efficient foundation models and research workflows for domains where provenance, uncertainty, and reproducibility matter.

  4. 04

    Structured multimodal intelligence

    Reasoning across language, scientific representations, biological evidence, and interactive environments.

How we work

A compact team
with a wide aperture.

01

Long horizon

Build for durable usefulness, not a single demonstration.

02

Hands on

Keep research and engineering close to the systems people use.

03

Inspectable

Make evidence, uncertainty, and revision visible wherever consequences matter.

Research status · Current

Work in progress, described precisely.

Current manuscripts are under peer review across AI, language research, and interdisciplinary science venues. Submission and review do not imply acceptance or publication.

Build with us

Bring an unusual problem.

We welcome conversations with researchers, engineers, commercial partners, and long-term collaborators who care about ambitious, responsible AI.

Biographies are intentionally generalized to respect individual privacy while describing the experience relevant to Explore AI’s work. They do not imply endorsement by any prior institution, employer, or partner.
