Standard Intelligence is a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research lab dedicated to building foundation models that "explore and learn like humans do". The company is widely recognized for moving beyond simple text-based AI to focus on computer-use models--AI that can autonomously operate digital interfaces, software, and even real-world systems. Standard Intelligence operates on the "bitter lesson" philosophy: instead of hand-engineering specific workflows for an AI to follow, they scale raw data aggressively. Their goal is to let general intelligence emerge by training models on massive streams of "pixel-space" data--essentially teaching AI to understand the world by watching video rather than just reading text.
