Company

An AI lab, building in the open.

We build the serving, storage, and training systems we wished existed — and we make them available to anyone who wants to build on them.

Our approach

We think the base layer of AI should be open to everyone who wants to build on it.

Permissionless isn't a slogan — it's an operating principle. It shapes how we price, how we design our APIs, and what happens to your data and your models.

  • Open by default

    First-class support for open-weight models and open standards — including the open weights and quantized models we publish ourselves.

  • Yours to keep

    Your data trains your models, and those weights are portable. Export and run them anywhere — there is no lock-in by design.

  • Built for scale

    Infrastructure that holds up from the first request to billions — the same API from a prototype to production.

  • Research-grade

    Run by researchers and systems engineers who care about correctness, reproducibility, and honest evaluation.

About us

Small team, open by conviction.

Permissionless Labs is a small team of researchers and infrastructure engineers who believe the most important AI capabilities shouldn't sit behind a velvet rope. We build the serving, storage, and training systems we wished existed — and we make them available to anyone.

We publish what we learn, support open models and standards, and design every product so that the value you create stays with you. If that sounds like the kind of infrastructure you want to build on, we'd love to hear from you.
