Baseten Announces Base Labs for Open-Source AI Research

Tuhin Srivastava and Charlie O'Neill announced Base Labs, a Baseten research organization. They stated the lab will focus on specialization, continual learning, reasoning, memory, and performance while sharing every result openly. The group said its mandate is to make open-source models as useful as possible and to publish without exception, including failures. Sarah Guo retweeted the launch post. Alana Goyal commented that the work looks promising. The announcement included a video montage and listed blue-sky research areas such as the science of reinforcement learning across model lifecycles.
