Airdisk Labs

We are enabling the next AI revolution, by building a new breed of AI systems that understand the real world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, are controllable and safe.

Our main goal is to build intelligent systems that understand the real world.

Real-world data is continuous, high-dimensional, and noisy, whether it is obtained through cameras or any other sensor modality.

Generative architectures trained by self-supervised learning to predict the future have been astonishingly successful for language understanding and generation. But much of real-world sensor data is unpredictable, and generative approaches do not work well.

Airdisk Labs is developing world models that learn abstract representations of real-world sensor data, ignoring unpredictable details, and that make predictions in representation space.

Action-conditioned world models allow agentic systems to predict the consequences of their actions, and to plan action sequences to accomplish a task, subject to safety guardrails.

Airdisk Labs will advance AI research and develop applications where reliability, controllability, and safety really matter, especially for industrial process control, automation, wearable devices, robotics, healthcare, and beyond.

Founded by a globally distinguished team of scientists, engineers, and builders, Airdisk Labs is a frontier AI research lab operating across multiple continents from day one.
