The problem
Some problems need research — not just more engineering.
Bounded R&D missions with elite talent — applied research, working prototypes, and open tools at the frontier. Each mission has a scope, a deadline, and a deliverable.
Built for the people who own the hard part.
Co-development partners
You have a frontier problem that needs real research plus the engineering to ship a prototype.
Investors & labs
You want a strike team that can de-risk a technical thesis with a working artifact, fast.
The community
You follow our open research, tools, and writeups — and want to build on them.
Concrete deliverables.
Artifacts, decisions, and working systems — not slide decks.
Applied research missions
Bounded missions on hard problems — agentic security, AI infra, autonomous systems, biorobotics — with a working deliverable.
Prototypes & tools
We build the thing that proves the idea, not a report about it. Code, benchmarks, and demos.
Open research
Selected work ships as open source, writeups, and benchmarks the whole field can use.
Co-development partnerships
Longer-horizon collaborations where we build alongside your team toward a shared technical bet.
Frame the mission
We turn a fuzzy frontier question into a scoped mission with a deadline and a concrete deliverable.
Assemble the team
Students from 42, Epitech, EPITA, PhDs, and senior engineers — matched to the problem.
Ship the artifact
A working prototype, benchmark, or tool — plus the research behind it.
Bring us your hardest problem.
If it's at the frontier of what's technically possible, it's the kind of thing the lab exists for.
