Building World-Class AI Research in Southeast Asia

Kreasof AI was founded with a simple belief: frontier AI research doesn't have to come exclusively from labs in North America or Europe. We're proving that world-class research can emerge from anywhere — including Jakarta, Indonesia.

We are an independent, curiosity-driven research lab. We don't have a predetermined research agenda or social mission to fulfill. Instead, we pursue technically rigorous problems that interest us, publish openly, and let our work speak for itself.

Our first major milestone — acceptance at ICLR 2026 — is just the beginning. We're building research infrastructure and capability in a region that has been historically underrepresented in top-tier AI venues.

Learn More About Us

Curiosity-Driven

We pursue problems that interest us technically, not because they fit a predetermined agenda.

Independent

We're not tied to corporate priorities or academic tenure tracks. We follow the research where it leads.

Open Research

We publish openly and believe research should be accessible. Our papers, code, and findings are available to all.
