Every lab

A research organization that builds or studies AI or data systems and publishes: labs inside large companies (Google DeepMind, Meta FAIR, Microsoft Research), startups whose business is models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, DeepSeek), nonprofits (Ai2, EleutherAI, METR), university labs (MIT CSAIL, Mila, Berkeley), government institutes (the UK AI Security Institute, the US CAISI) and data systems groups (CWI, DuckLabs, TUM).

Founding year, headquarters and handles come from Wikidata, Wikipedia or the lab's own pages. Landmark contributions link to the paper or the lab's own post (arXiv titles are checked against arXiv). Leaders come from leaders.fru.dev, which cites a source for each role; models from models.fru.dev; papers from papers.fru.dev. Every fact on a lab page links its source.

Where the lab is ranked on models.fru.dev, it is its best-ranked model there this week. Otherwise it is the newest model on the lab's own model page.

Every Monday a run pulls leaders, models, papers, blogs and funding from the other fru.dev sites and logs what moved. On the first Monday of each month it also re-checks every lab's website and landmark links. Nothing is overwritten silently: every change is kept on the Changes page.
