Models & inference
Our own models, quantization and optimization. We investigate how quality, speed and computing resources can work together.
A Dutch AI research lab
LaavaLabs.
AI research from the Netherlands, with the ambition to build an independent alternative to today’s major AI platforms. Our own models and sovereign infrastructure are the foundation.
Independent AI researchUtrecht, Netherlands
Our direction
AI, on our terms.
We develop the building blocks for AI we can understand, adapt and operate ourselves. From the model to the infrastructure it runs on.
Sovereign infrastructure
Selfhosted models on infrastructure we operate ourselves. With control over data, operation and dependencies.
Language & knowledge
Speech technology, Company Brains and knowledge extraction. We explore how AI can better understand human communication and the knowledge within organisations.
AI & security
Security research with LLMs. We build and investigate ways to analyse, test and improve the security of software.
Looking for partners
Build the alternative with us.
We are looking for researchers, engineers and infrastructure partners to help build independent AI. Students with a strong research question are welcome too.
