LightSeek Foundation

Built to Accelerate Open Research

LightSeek Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing open research and open-source innovation for the next generation of artificial intelligence systems.

Our Mission

We believe the future of AI should be transparent, collaborative, and inclusive. LightSeek exists to accelerate the development of open, efficient, and trustworthy AI systems—so that progress in AI benefits everyone, not just a few.

What We Do

LightSeek supports and coordinates open research initiatives that connect academia, industry, and the global developer community. Our work focuses on:
  • Open Infrastructure: advancing high-performance and accessible AI systems built on open standards.
  • Research Acceleration: funding and organizing open collaborations that push the frontier of model efficiency, inference, and alignment.
  • Community and Education: empowering the next generation of open-source contributors and researchers through mentorship, workshops, and grants.

Our Philosophy

We are builders, researchers, and collaborators united by a shared belief: innovation should serve as a public good. By aligning openness with excellence, LightSeek seeks to strengthen the foundation upon which safe, powerful, and inclusive AI systems are built.

The Path Forward

As AI becomes an increasingly central force in society, open collaboration will be essential for safety, transparency, and progress. LightSeek Foundation is committed to ensuring that the world’s most transformative technology is developed in a way that reflects the world’s collective interests.
