Adaption Labs is an AI research company addressing the inefficiency of retraining foundation models. Founded by former Cohere executives Sara Hooker and Sudip Roy, the company develops 'gradient-free' learning techniques that allow AI systems to evolve in real-time. By removing the need for large-scale, compute-intensive retraining runs, Adaption Labs is positioned to make model updates sustainable and cost-effective for enterprise deployment. This technology addresses critical bottlenecks in computational efficiency and data governance, supporting broader industrial automation.
