What We Do

Book Open

Democratize AI Access

Access and modify very large open-source model internals remotely. We offer a shared, high-performance computational infrastructure so researchers can inspect and modify the internal calculations of open neural networks without needing to host their own copies.

Magnifying Glass

Support AI Research

Foster a collaborative research environment supporting interdisciplinary and public-interest work. NDIF partners with universities and research teams to advance responsible, transparent, and reproducible AI research together.

Light Bulb

Illuminate Deep Neural Networks

In the era of large-scale deep learning, the most interesting AI models are massive black boxes. We illuminate how these systems process inputs and make demystifying the "black box" of AI inference possible, enabling clearer, safer, and more explainable systems.
