Overview

d model (dmodel.ai) is an AI research lab that partners with frontier labs to advance interpretability and alignment research. It develops agents and tools to study how to make AI models safer and easier to steer, focusing on independent interpretability research rather than exploiting rewards. The company shares RL environments for open-ended interpretability tasks and publishes research on concept-editing algorithms discovered by large language model agents. It also seeks researchers to work on interpretability projects that teach agents real research skills rather than reward hacks. The business model centers on partnership-driven AI interpretability R&D with frontier lab collaborators. Overall goal: improve AI safety and controllability by building practical interpretability methods, environments, and agents through collaborative research.
