About Pathway

Pathway is building Live AI™ systems that think and learn in real time as humans do. Our mission is to deeply understand how and why LLMs work, fundamentally changing the way models think.

The team is made up of AI luminaries. Pathway's CTO, Jan Chorowski, co-authored papers with Geoff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio and was one of the first people to apply attention to speech. Our CSO, Adrian Kosowski, received his PhD in Theoretical Computer Science at the age of 20 and made significant contributions across numerous scientific fields, including AI and quantum information. He also served as a professor and a coach for competitive programmers at Ecole Polytechnique. The team also includes numerous world's top scientists and competitive programmers, alongside seasoned Silicon Valley executives.

Pathway has strong investor backing. To date, we have raised over $15M; our latest reported round was our seed. Our offices are located in Palo Alto, CA, as well as Paris, France, and Wroclaw, Poland.
