About TinkerForge AI

TinkerForge AI was founded on the recognition that artificial intelligence—especially agentic systems and coding assistants—will fundamentally transform the landscape of software engineering and research. As AI capabilities accelerate, the traditional boundaries of programming are rapidly evolving. While foundational software skills remain valuable, we believe that many routine coding and research tasks will soon be performed by intelligent machines, empowering humans to focus on creativity, strategy, and oversight.

At TinkerForge AI, we are passionate about harnessing the transformative power of artificial intelligence to benefit society. Our approach is rooted in curiosity, hands-on experimentation, and a commitment to practical application. We believe that true innovation comes from building, testing, and iterating—turning theoretical concepts into real-world solutions.

Our Mission

• Advance the field of AI safety, alignment, and efficiency through open research and collaboration.
• Reproduce and validate influential research to ensure robust, applicable findings.
• Develop novel machine learning techniques that improve efficiency, reduce power consumption, and enhance the safety of large language models (LLMs).
• Engage with the global research community to address the ethical, philosophical, and societal implications of advanced AI systems.

Why AI Safety Matters

The rapid proliferation of AI technologies presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges. As AI systems become more capable and integrated into every aspect of society, ensuring their alignment with human values and safety standards is critical. We believe that proactive research and open collaboration are essential to navigating this new era responsibly.
