DATA · MAINTAINED TRACKER · T-DATA-LABS
The organisations training the frontier — who they are, what they ship, and the capital behind them. We track founding year, latest reported valuation, total funding, key investors, and flagship foundation models for the major LLM labs. Some are independent companies raising private rounds; others are divisions of public tech giants with no standalone valuation. Public figures only.
Capped-profit structure under a nonprofit parent. Figures widely reported but not officially confirmed by the company.
Public-benefit corporation. Major compute deals with Amazon (Trainium) and Google (TPU).
Wholly owned by Alphabet; no standalone valuation. Formed by the 2023 merger of DeepMind and Google Brain.
Internal division of Meta; primary open-weights releaser at the frontier. No standalone valuation.
Merged with X (formerly Twitter) in 2025; valuation figures reflect combined entity per reporting.
Leading European lab; mixes open-weights and proprietary releases.
Backed by quant fund High-Flyer; no public external funding round. Known for efficient open-weights frontier models.
Enterprise/RAG focus; less consumer-facing than peers.
Image/generative-media focus; underwent leadership and funding turbulence in 2024.
AI-native search/answer engine rather than a frontier-model trainer.
Valuations and funding totals are compiled from public reporting (press releases, reputable news coverage). Private-company figures are frequently approximate, reported as ranges, or dated; treat as indicative, not audited. Where a figure is not publicly confirmed it is shown as null / —.
