About TypeSafe
TypeSafe is a frontier model lab. We build reliable and general AI systems to power economically valuable automation. Our mission is to usher in a new era of Transformative Artificial Intelligence (TAI): technology with the power to drive a societal shift on the scale of the agricultural and industrial revolutions.
While others chase benchmarks and academic puzzles, we've been quietly rethinking the LLM stack from first principles - building a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production.
We're a small, fast-moving team from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, we've been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current "state-of-the-art" - a model that actually gets things done.
