ABOUT GOODFIRE
Our mission is to advance humanity's understanding of AI by examining the inner workings of advanced AI models (or "AI Interpretability"). As an applied research lab, we bridge the gap between theoretical science and practical applications of interpretability to build safer and more reliable AI models.
We're building critical infrastructure that empowers developers to understand, edit, and steer AI models at scale so that they are more reliable, customizable, and explainable.
Goodfire is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco.
