Guide Labs is building the first inherently interpretable LLMs. Their open-source Steerling-8B model features a novel concept layer inserted into the transformer architecture that makes every generated token traceable back to its training data. Unlike post-hoc explainability tools, Guide Labs bakes interpretability directly into the model, achieving 90% of standard model capability with less training data. YC-backed with $9M seed.
Stability AI is the company behind Stable Diffusion, the most widely used open-source image generation model. Beyond images, Stability develops language models (StableLM), video generation (Stable Video), audio models, and 3D generation tools. Their open-source approach has spawned a massive ecosystem of fine-tuned models, tools, and applications built by the community.
Companies that train and release their own large language models and foundation models. These organizations invest in large-scale model training, publish research, and offer API access to their proprietary models.
