IRAI Labs - Independent AI Research Organization

Independent Research · AI

Advancing knowledge through independent inquiry

Research Consulting

We partner with organizations to solve complex problems at the intersection of machine learning and their domain. Our work spans from foundational model development to specialized AI systems-always grounded in rigorous research methodology and an emphasis on explainability and reproducibility.

Engagements range from short-term technical advisory to long-term research collaborations.

Open Call for Research Grants

IRAI Labs provides compute resources and mentorship to researchers pursuing ambitious ideas in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Our grants are open to independent researchers, graduate students, and anyone with a compelling research direction who lacks access to the computational resources needed to explore it.

We evaluate proposals on scientific merit, feasibility, and potential for impact - not commercial viability. If your work advances fundamental understanding or opens new research directions, we want to hear from you.
