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.

At Goodfire, we're building Neural Programming Interfaces (NPIs) to transform how AI models are developed, just like how Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) transformed software development. NPIs allow developers to reach into the mind of an AI model, extract knowledge the model is thinking about, and design model behavior in precise and targeted ways.

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

Working at Goodfire

Our team brings together AI interpretability experts and experienced startup operators from organizations like OpenAI and DeepMind, united by the belief that interpretability is essential to advancing AI development.

We're a public benefit corporation based in San Francisco. All roles are in-person, five days a week, at our Telegraph Hill office.
