OUR MISSION
We founded Oumi to make AI unconditionally open for all.
We believe that general foundation models and related infrastructure should be developed collectively in the open, not in silos. They need to be fully accessible, not hidden behind an API.
Truly open frontier AI constitutes the best path to developing and offering the advanced, trustworthy, and efficient AI needed to unlock industry applications and scientific breakthroughs.
OUR TEAM
Founded by leaders in GenAI
Oumi is built by a strong community and a core team of ML engineers and researchers that led the work for industry leading GenAI products (Google Gemini, Google AI Safety, Apple Intelligence, and many others).
