Where the Builders of AI Come Together

ASCENT is a research center bringing together experts across the AI stack: the model architectures, training methods, data pipelines, evaluation frameworks, systems infrastructure, and physical systems through which AI meets the world. By bringing these perspectives together, we change what we ask, what we pursue, and ultimately what becomes possible.

Our mission is to expand AI’s benefit to society by transforming how it is built, with researchers across the AI stack working together from the start.
