About

An AI research lab.

We build frontier AI and the infrastructure to trust it, verifiable, private, and decentralized. Our first network, OGONG, came out of that work.

OGONG Labs is an artificial-intelligence research laboratory. Our remit is twofold: to advance frontier model capability, and to build the infrastructure that renders such capability trustworthy, namely verifiable, private, and decentralized. The OGONG network is the first system to emerge from that research.

Compute isn't scarce. Trust is. So we made trust cheap enough to check.The OGONG thesis

Why a Monkey King

OGONG is 오공, Sun Wukong, who plucks his own hairs and blows them into a host of clones. It is the network in a figure: one model, many providers, each a copy doing the work, all watched by the same golden gaze that checks them and knocks the fakes away.
