About UnStandard Labs

We are a team of researchers, engineers, and visionaries committed to redefining the frontiers of artificial general intelligence through novel approaches that challenge conventional wisdom.

Our Story

UnStandard Labs began in 2019 with the development of AI-powered SaaS products, working with app developers to create practical applications of machine learning technology. The foundation for our breakthrough work was established in 2021 when we developed our first private Large Language Model with web search capabilities and bootstrap training.

Our focus has evolved from building SaaS products to pioneering fundamentally new approaches to AI—focusing on compression-first cognition, recursive epistemics, and post-standard logic frameworks. Through extensive algorithmic experimentation with our D-A-R-Y-L system, we've made significant advances that validate our unique approach to AGI development.

Today, we're an established team of interdisciplinary experts working at the intersection of advanced mathematics, computer science, cognitive science, and philosophy. Based in Cazenovia, NY, we're dedicated to building the next generation of intelligent systems with safety and ethics at the core of our work, as detailed in our safety and ethics framework.

Our Mission

To develop artificial general intelligence that is safe, beneficial, and aligned with human values through innovative approaches that transcend the limitations of conventional AI systems.

Our Vision

A future where AGI serves as a powerful tool for advancing human knowledge, solving complex global challenges, and enabling a more equitable and prosperous world.

Core Values

Our work is guided by a set of principles that inform every aspect of our research and development process.

Truth

We commit to intellectual honesty and the pursuit of truth in all our research. We rigorously test our assumptions and openly acknowledge the limitations of our systems.

Integrity

We maintain the highest standards of scientific and ethical integrity in our work, ensuring that our methods, results, and business practices are transparent and accountable.

Responsibility

We take full responsibility for the technologies we create, ensuring human oversight remains central to AI development and deployment at every stage.

Sustainable Innovation

We pursue innovation that creates long-term value for humanity, balancing technological advancement with ethical considerations and environmental sustainability.

Leadership

Our multidisciplinary team brings together expertise from AI research, cognitive science, mathematics, ethics, and engineering with over 6 years of specialized development focused on our D-A-R-Y-L Advanced AI System.
