About Goodfire

Behind our name: Like fire, AI holds the potential for both devastating harm and immense benefit. Just as our ancestors' mastery of fire enabled them to cook food, smelt metals, and launch rockets into space, AI stands as humanity's most profound innovation since that first controlled flame. Our goal is to tame this new fire, enabling a safe transition into a post-AGI world.

Goodfire is an AI interpretability research lab focused on understanding and intentionally designing advanced AI systems. We believe that advances in interpretability will unlock the next frontier of safe and powerful foundation models.

Our flagship product is Ember - the universal platform for neural programming. Ember decodes the neurons of an AI model to give direct, programmable access to its internal representations. By moving beyond black-box inputs and outputs, Ember unlocks entirely new ways to apply, train, and align AI models — allowing users to discover new knowledge hidden in their model, precisely shape its behaviors, and improve its performance

We’re backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, NFDG’s AI Grant, South Park Commons, Work-Bench, and other leading investors.
