Building the substrate for AI-native software.
DeepFuture R&D is a small team pushing the frontier of autonomous agents, reasoning, multimodal perception, and evaluation. Our research ships — into Leadsy, KnowFirst, and the next generation of AI-native products.
Six bets on the next decade of intelligence.
Each pillar is funded, staffed, and ships into production within 90 days. No dead-end research.
Reasoning
Long-horizon planning, self-critique, and verifiable chain-of-thought for agents that don't hallucinate.
Autonomous agents
Tool-use, memory, and orchestration primitives that ship real work — not demos.
Multimodal perception
Vision + language + structured data fused into a single understanding layer.
Evals & alignment
A 1.2M-task evaluation suite measuring what users actually care about.
Small language models
Distilled, specialized models that run at the edge with frontier-class quality.
Knowledge graphs
Real-time entity graphs from the open web — the substrate behind KnowFirst.
What's running right now.
Frontier-grade results.
Production-grade systems.
Every model we ship clears a custom evaluation suite of 1.2M real-world tasks before it touches a customer.
Research that compounds.
Every experiment follows the same five-step loop. No theater, no overhead.
We publish what works.
Work on problems that
don't have answers yet.
We're hiring research engineers, applied scientists, and infra people. Small team. High ownership. Production from day one.
