What Goodfire does
Goodfire is an AI interpretability company whose product, Silico, is an interpretability agent for understanding, debugging and controlling AI models through their internal representations. It is aimed at AI research teams, with versions of Silico for LLMs, life sciences, and robotics and vision. The work is organized around three areas: understanding model mechanisms, debugging confounders and failures before production, and designing training so models learn what is intended with less data. Plans include a research agent that plans, runs and learns from long-horizon experiments, running on Goodfire's infrastructure or a connected cluster. The Academic & Safety Labs plan costs $1,000 per month for eligible researchers, and Enterprise pricing is custom.
