We build Specific Intelligence for specific work at specific companies.
Applied Compute builds Specific Intelligence for enterprises — unlocking the latent knowledge inside a company to train proprietary custom AI models and deploy an in-house agent workforce. Founded in 2025 by former OpenAI researchers Yash Patil (CEO, ex-Codex), Rhythm Garg (CTO, co-contributor on o1), and Linden Li (ML systems and RL infrastructure), the company embeds engineers directly within customer teams and uses reinforcement learning to train domain-specific models on customer data. Early customers include DoorDash, Cognition, and Mercor. Backed by $80 million from Benchmark, Sequoia, Lux Capital, and notable angel investors.
