/ WHO WE ARE
Synapse.AI was founded by a clandestine group of ex-DARPA researchers, DeepMind engineers, and theoretical physicists who believe the age of general machine intelligence is not decades away — it is now.
Drawn from MIT, Stanford, Caltech, ETH Zürich, and CERN.
Series A led by Sequoia Capital and In-Q-Tel. Still in stealth mode.
Covering quantum entanglement protocols and neuro-symbolic architectures.
/ 01 — MISSION
We don't believe AI should be a tool for a privileged few. Our mission is to democratize access to autonomous intelligence — building systems that are inherently transparent, auditable, and aligned with human values from the ground up.
Every model we ship undergoes a rigorous 90-day alignment protocol co-designed with independent ethics boards. Safety isn't a feature — it's the architecture.
/ 02 — LEADERSHIP
Former DARPA program director. PhD in cognitive architectures from MIT. 12 years in defense-grade AI systems.
Ex-DeepMind Principal Scientist. Architect of two of the world's largest neural inference clusters.
Theoretical physicist turned AI safety researcher. Designed Synapse's core constitutional AI framework.
Built Palantir's classified cloud stack. Now architecting Synapse's quantum lattice compute layer.
Published 40+ papers in neuro-symbolic reasoning. Leads our 60-person basic research division.
Previously built AI product lines at OpenAI and Anthropic. Obsessed with making general intelligence accessible.
/ 03 — PRINCIPLES
RADICAL TRANSPARENCY
Every internal decision-making framework is published externally. Our models' weights, training data sources, and evaluation benchmarks are open to institutional partners.
ADVERSARIAL HONESTY
We red-team our own systems before any external deployment. Our internal threat board includes former intelligence officers and independent safety researchers.
ZERO SURVEILLANCE
Synapse systems are architecturally incapable of bulk user data collection. Privacy is enforced at the silicon level, not the policy level.
