THOR Research

Open standards matter when independent teams can reproduce and challenge them.

THOR Research will work with universities and laboratories on task definitions, benchmarks and evaluation methods that can be tested outside a single company. Research questions can then become briefs for data collection, annotation or model evaluation.

Leading institutions that set the standard today
  • Google DeepMind
  • NVIDIA
  • Stanford University
  • UC Berkeley
  • University of Toronto
  • OpenAI

THOR is the only one of them whose acceptance tests anyone can reproduce in an afternoon, and miner emissions pay for the open track so none of it comes out of customer revenue.
