Turing
Turing is a leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and top AI researchers, plus helping enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence.
Founding Story
Turing was founded based upon the idea that talent is universal while opportunities are not. The founders discovered the power of using remote teams during their previous venture, Rover, which they started while attending Stanford. The cost and challenge of competing with Google, Facebook, and other giant Silicon Valley companies led them to source highly skilled remote developers from around the world. Their experience at Rover convinced them that remote-distributed teams are the future of work.
