Overview
Magic is a San Francisco research company founded in 2022 that trains frontier models for software engineering. It focuses on extremely long context windows so a model can hold entire codebases and their history in working memory while making changes. The company raised large rounds from investors including Alphabet's CapitalG and Nat Friedman and builds its own training infrastructure.
