[1/5] We have a quick update to share, which contradicts our hypothesis regarding the abilities of Muon and Adam vis-a-vis Grokking.

Check out our optimizer team’s findings on grokking with Muon vs ADAM. Our experiments show that different settings favour different optimizers, with no clear wins for either. Blog: essential.ai/blog/grokking Essential AI Somanshu Singla Ishaan Ashish Vaswani

Exciting work by Gauri Gupta and team — pushing the boundaries of agentic AI with a grounded, evidence-based system that attributes sources and quantifies confidence.

At Essential AI, we strive to do Foundational work in the open. Open Science ensures the sustained progress of AI.

Check out the amazing work by Gauri Gupta, Parag Agrawal and the Parallel Web Systems team on building web deep research agents and redefining the AI agents space.

[1/2] We at Essential are driven by mission to advance fundamental research guided by first principles, rigor and sharing research openly.

This is going to be big. Excited to see what's next!

Announcing our first product: Tinker! Tinker is a training API for everyone! It lets you focus on what matters in LLM training - your data and algorithms - while we handle the heavy lifting of distributed training. You can train your own models using Tinker even if you have no

Published my personal notes from interview prep at top AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, WorldLabs, etc, revisiting core concepts in large-scale ML design and optimization for efficient model training and inference. Hope it’s useful to others exploring and deep-diving into ML/LLMs

Essential-Webv1.0 has reached close to 600k downloads. 🥇 It is now available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS - registry.opendata.aws/eai-essential-… under the Open Data Sponsorship Program for publically available high value datasets. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.14111 Essential AI

Things are moving super fast, and we’re just getting started!

Such a cool demo by the World Labs team! As compute gets cheaper, end-to-end generative world models will only get better.

Super excited to be at the MIT AI conference tomorrow where Gauri Gupta and I will be speaking about our vision. If you’re attending, we’d love to connect. Feel free to shoot a dm! Register here: mitaiconference.org
