+
+**Researching intelligence from the byte up.**
+
+dot company is an independent AI research organization focused on **multimodal, byte-level intelligence**.
+
+We explore what happens when models operate closer to raw information, reducing reliance on modality-specific tokenization and hand-designed representations. Our research investigates architectures and training methods capable of learning directly from low-level sequences across text and other modalities.
+
+## Research
+
+Our work currently centers around:
+
+* **Byte-level modeling:** Learning directly from bytes rather than conventional text tokenization.
+* **Multimodal intelligence:** Developing representations and architectures that can generalize across different forms of information.
+* **Small language models:** Studying how much capability can emerge from compact, compute-efficient systems.
+* **Efficient architectures:** Exploring recurrence, parameter sharing, adaptive computation, and alternatives to simply scaling model size.
+* **Representation learning:** Investigating how models can discover useful structure with fewer assumptions about how their inputs should be encoded.
+
+## Where we're headed
+
+We believe increasingly general models may emerge not only from making systems larger, but from making their foundations **simpler and more universal**.
+
+Our long-term direction is toward models that can consume heterogeneous information through a shared low-level interface, learn useful internal representations on their own, and allocate computation intelligently.
+
+Instead of building a different foundation for every modality, we're interested in a more fundamental question:
+
+> **How little structure can we impose while still allowing intelligence to emerge?**
+
+We're starting with bytes.
