Founded in late 2020 by a small group of machine learning researchers, Mosaic AI enables companies to create state-of-the-art AI models from scratch on their own data. From a business perspective, Mosaic AI is committed to the belief that a company’s AI models are just as valuable as any other core IP, and that high-quality AI models should be available to all. From a scientific perspective, Mosaic AI is committed to reducing the cost of training state-of-the-art models - and sharing our knowledge about how to do so with the world - to allow everyone to innovate and create models of their own.
