AI Memory
Building shared approaches for how AI systems remember, retrieve, correct, permission, share, and forget information.
95%
of organizations get zero return on enterprise gen AI spend
MIT NANDA, 2025
Quantum AI Institute
Built together,AI infrastructure.
Tackling the most urgent problems in AI infrastructure that no single company can solve alone.
What we are working on
A neutral institution that brings together technical leaders, companies, researchers and policymakers to build AI infrastructure collectively, for the entire industry and humanity.
AI Memory
Who leads the work
Led directly by industry leaders, as a collective coalition.
I.
The people closest to the problem
Every initiative is led by practitioners who run these systems in production, not by observers or analysts.
II.
A coalition
Companies that compete in the market collaborate here on the infrastructure none of them can build alone.
III.
Shared leadership
A technical chair on every initiative, one steering committee across all of them, and working teams that build and test.
Why a coalition
Democratizing concentrated power.
A layer decided by one company becomes everyone else’s constraint. What changes in a coalition is where the decision sits — and who it answers to.
I
IThe problem
Inherited by default
When one company defines how memory, power, or inference works, everyone else inherits it. A layer set by one competitor is not shared.
II
IIThe check
Shared decisions
No single company sets the outcome. A technical chair, one steering committee, and the implementers closest to the problem must agree.
III
IIIThe balance
Published and testable
Open and verifiable output. Adoption is a choice, never a dependency — the shared layer stays under human custody.
How we work
A defined method, run the same way on every problem we take on.
I.
We identify urgent problems that require industry wide collaboration.
II.
We bring together the companies and leaders closest to the problem.
III.
We build, test, and implement practical solutions.
IV.
We measure whether those solutions are actually adopted across industry.
Current initiative
