Intelligence beyond chat
We’re building a new shape of intelligence — one that will power transformational technology for all of society, not just the usual few.

Intelligence per dollar:
The most important metric for the next century
Intelligence is the most valuable resource in the world and it is absurdly expensive. Today, every serious application of AI runs into the same wall: the cost of thinking.
History is unambiguous about what happens if we change that. When electricity got cheap, we lit the world. When compute got cheap, we put a computer in every pocket. What will happen once intelligence is too cheap to meter?
TypeSafe is building in the opposite direction of the rest of AI. We believe artificial intelligence should be a resource accessible to all, and we are creating the technology needed to unlock that potential.
