Profile match
River AI is an artificial intelligence company headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and founded in 2026 by xAI co-founder Igor Babuschkin. The company is building what it calls an open AI stack, spanning personal AI models, tooling for developers to train and serve their own models, and a custom system on chip with an onboard machine learning accelerator. It raised 1.1 billion dollars led by General Catalyst with strategic investment from NVIDIA and AMD Ventures.
At River, our mission is to create personal AI owned and shaped by each individual. To achieve this, we are rewriting the entire stack from scratch: personal hardware for local inference, bespoke training infrastructure, next-generation UIs, and frontier deep learning research.
Who we are
We are scientists, engineers, and builders from the industry's top tech companies and AI labs. We bring a proven track record of scaling consumer systems for hundreds of millions of users and architecting the pre-training infrastructure behind today's frontier models.
