Zorbe
ActiveAI-nativeCompany-Owned AI models that beat the frontier
What it does
Zorbe is building the owned intelligence layer for every company. We turn repetitive production workloads across text, vision, speech, image, and video into specialized foundation models that companies can own and continuously improve. Using distillation, fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and architecture optimization, Zorbe converts general-purpose intelligence into models built around how each business actually operates. As a company’s data, usage, and the frontier evolve, its intelligence evolves with it. Over time, Zorbe becomes the system that builds, operates, and compounds the proprietary intelligence running the business.
