Join Prior Labs Prior Labs is building breakthrough foundation models that understand spreadsheets and databases - the backbone of science and business. Foundation models have transformed text and images, but structured data has remained largely untouched. We're tackling this $100B opportunity to revolutionize how we approach scientific discovery, medical research, financial modeling, and business intelligence. We aim to be the world leading organization working on structured data. Our TabPFN v2 model, was just published in the Nature Journal and is the new state-of-the-art for small structured data. Our models have significant traction (900K downloads, 2,000 GitHub stars) and we are now building the next generation of models that combine AI advances with specialized architectures for structured data. With backing from top-tier investors and some of the top AI leaders, we're rapidly moving toward commercialization. Want to help organizations worldwide unlock the true value of their most critical data assets? Join us in making it happen.
