Sources & location evidence

Open research desk ↗

Profile source review: 2026-11-04. Current AI product, canonical identity, active operations and NYC presence. Funding not rechecked unless a linked funding correction is recorded. Current About page explicitly lists a New York office among several global offices; classified conservatively as office rather than inferring a current headquarters. Salesforce Ventures verifies all three founders. Product positioning now extends from creative video to world models.

Manhattan · reported office

18 West 18th Street, Floor 11, New York, NY 10011. Current occupancy not confirmed. Current primary company page confirms NYC office and remote options but no street. 2024 Newmark lease table reports 18 West 18th Street; February 2026 federal complaint alleges principal place of business there. Exact street remains reported rather than primary occupied-office confirmation. Old directory addresses 201 Moore Street Brooklyn and 79 Walker Street should not establish current borough.
