Introducing Ornis Labs

3 October 2026

Ornis Labs is a new AI lab with a simple goal: build AI models that cost less to train and less to run, without asking people to settle for less.

Why cost matters

Training and running modern AI takes enormous amounts of computing power. That cost shapes who gets to build AI, who can afford to use it, and how much energy it uses. We think efficiency deserves to be a research goal in its own right, not something fixed after the fact.

What we’re building

Our first model is Ornova, a general-purpose AI that will be available on the web and through an API. It’s in development and isn’t available yet.

How we’ll share our work

We won’t make claims about Ornova until we can back them up, and when we publish results we’ll explain how we measured them. This page is where we’ll post news as it happens.
