A deep AI research lab. We pick one fundamental problem at a time, solve it from first principles, and ship it as a product.
Today’s AI systems are built on missing primitives — memory, reasoning, grounding. We rebuild those primitives, then put them in the hands of the people building the next generation of AI.
DFI Labs is a small, independent research group. We don’t chase trends or ship thin wrappers. We identify a fundamental gap in how AI works today, study it deeply, and release a product that closes the gap.
One problem at a time. Each product stands on its own. Together they compose into the substrate the next generation of AI will be built on.
Engram
Memory for AI agents — persistent, efficient, recall-grade. A drop-in memory layer that lets agents remember the right things, forget the rest, and stay coherent across long horizons.

The next fundamental problem in AI. Announced when it’s ready.
—The problems we’re actively studying. Each is a candidate for a future product.
Memory & long-horizon coherence
How agents store, retrieve, and forget. The foundation for Engram.
Reasoning & planning
Architectures that plan, simulate, and reason over long horizons.
Grounding & world models
Tying language and action to a coherent model of the world.
Efficient intelligence
More capability per parameter, per watt, per dollar.
