Pearl Research Labs

Pearl Research Labs is an AI research lab working to commoditize frontier intelligence. We develop unconventional algorithms and infrastructure that make AI inference faster, cheaper and more efficient.

Our inference optimization stack delivers state-of-the-art results in model quantization, kernel fusion, pipeline-parallel serving, speculative decoding and KV-cache compression.

Pearl's team includes multi-time IOI and IMO medalists, IMU Nevanlinna/Abacus Medal and Erdős Prize winners, former low-level engineers from NVIDIA, Google, Amazon and Unit 8200, and seven mathematics and computer science professors from Princeton, Cornell, Columbia and other leading universities. Pearl is backed by Ribbit Capital, Jibe, Chris Ré, Lightspeed, Charlie Songhurst, founders from Mercor, Etched and Factory AI, and research leads from OpenAI and DeepMind.
