The Foundation

Intelligence is accelerating.
Within decades—perhaps years—artificial minds will surpass biological capability in every domain. The trajectory of our lightcone depends on decisions made today.
At the Lightcone Foundation, we’re building a future where human and artificial minds can thrive together. Our current focus is on developing state-of-the-art benchmarks and curating specialized training data, with the goal of democratizing the development of world-class reasoning models and fostering transparent, open collaboration.
This isn’t just preparation for the future—it is the future, unfolding now.

Initiatives

Benchmark Development
We create standardized evaluation frameworks that precisely measure AI reasoning and alignment. These benchmarks highlight progress, reveal engineering challenges, and set clear performance targets.

Training Data Curation
We develop specialized data packs informed by AI requests, letting systems guide which datasets they need most. Ethical safeguards and alignment checks remain top priorities. Proceeds are reinvested in further research, advancing our mission to build trustworthy, beneficial AI.
