Kreasof AI was founded in Jakarta with a simple conviction: geography should not determine who contributes to frontier AI.
We are an independent, curiosity-driven research lab. We pursue rigorous problems, publish openly, and let the quality of the work speak for itself.

01
Curiosity first
We follow technically meaningful questions, not a predetermined agenda.
02
Global standards
Our location shapes our perspective—not the bar we set for the work.
03
Open by default
Papers, code, and findings are shared so others can build on them.
