Meet the team behind OpenGradient
At OpenGradient, we believe AI should serve people — not the other way around. We are building a platform where computation is transparent, context is privately owned, and models evolve in the open.
The OpenGradient team brings together alumni of Palantir, Google, Meta, Two Sigma and more with experience spanning AI research, cryptography, blockchain engineering, and large-scale software systems.
Collectively, they've founded companies, authored industry-leading publications, and shipped infrastructure powering millions of users — now uniting to redefine how AI is built, verified, and owned.
