Video is the largest untapped data source in the world, and the tools to understand it either hallucinate (VLMs) or are brittle single-purpose pipelines (YOLO-era CV). We built Darwin, a JEPA-based perception model that watches video the way a systems engineer needs: deterministic, timestamped, confidence-scored, queryable in plain English — shipped as an API you can try right now, free, no signup, even from your AI agent.
Primate Intelligence was founded by Matt Miesnieks (CEO; previously founded 6D.ai, acquired by Niantic) and Mehdi Nikkhah (PhD; led CV engineering and research at 6D.ai). We are based in San Jose, CA.
The full founding story — why we started with video, why we chose JEPA, what we saw in 2024 — is publishing during our August launch.
