About Pathway

At Pathway we are shaking the foundations of artificial intelligence by introducing the world's first post-transformer model that adapts and thinks just like humans.

Our breakthrough architecture outperforms Transformer and provides the enterprise with full visibility into how the model works. Combining the foundational model with the fastest data processing engine on the market, Pathway enables enterprises to move beyond incremental optimization and toward truly contextualized, experience-driven intelligence. We are trusted by organizations such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams.

Pathway is led by co-founder & CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who created a team consisting of AI pioneers, including CTO Jan Chorowski who was the first person to apply Attention to speech and worked with Nobel laureate Geoff Hinton at Google Brain, as well as CSO Adrian Kosowski, a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at the age of 20.

The company is backed by leading investors and advisors, including Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer ("the T" in ChatGPT) and a key researcher behind OpenAI's reasoning models. Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
