ReasonOS Research Labs

AI beyond the transformer. Starting from the mathematics.

Exploring the foundations and architectures that come after the current generation — and building the infrastructure to try them.

Active programs

where the work is happening now

active

Mathematical foundations

Novel frameworks beyond transformer architectures — topological data analysis and algebraic geometry applied to neural computation.

active

Next-gen architectures

Building and testing non-transformer architectures that challenge the assumption that scale is the only path forward.

active

HPC infrastructure

High-performance computing that makes cutting-edge research accessible to independent researchers and startups.

active

Open research

Published findings, open-sourced tools, and compute for people outside corporate walls.

Our philosophy

why we think differently about AI

01

LLMs made a huge leap — but we see an LLM as the UI of AI. A powerful interface, not the end goal.

02

The next major innovation will come from non-transformer architectures: new mathematical foundations, not just more scale.

03

We build tools that enable crazy new ideas, funded or not. The next leap will come from people outside big tech.

04

We start from the mathematics behind it all, and build the infrastructure needed to explore from there.

The team

who is doing the work

Vamsi Pandari

Founder

Leads the platform the research runs on: the RBS build system, branch nodes, and the HPC substrate every experiment schedules onto.

Background in AI infrastructure and high-performance computing.

Chris Leggett

Researcher

Drives the next-gen architectures program — building and testing the non-transformer models the lab bets on.

Previously at Scale AI and Meta Reality Labs.

Dr. Ehsan Ardjmand

AI Researcher

Leads the mathematical foundations work: the search for frameworks beyond the transformer, starting from the mathematics itself.

PhD; mathematician and AI researcher.
