Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Tilde closed an $8M seed round in July 2025, led by Khosla Ventures.
  • Its July-August 2026 hiring for ML and kernel roles signals active product-building.
  • The October 2025 Telescope post promises more MoE interpretability releases within weeks.

What critics are saying

  • Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind are racing interpretability, crushing Tilde's niche.
  • Tilde still depends on research claims; no customers, revenue, or deployments are public.
  • If frontier labs ship built-in interpretability, Tilde's standalone lab dies by 2027.

What makes Tilde Research unique

  • Tilde Research, founded 2024 in Palo Alto, sells applied interpretability, not dashboards.
  • Its Sieve work showed sparse autoencoders improved Llama-3.1-8B reasoning and generation control.
  • MoMoE and MoBA posts tie interpretability research directly to faster training infrastructure.
