Developer Relations

Who We Are: Prior Labs is building breakthrough foundation models that understand spreadsheets and databases - the backbone of science and business. Foundation models have transformed text and images, but structured data has remained largely untouched. We're tackling this $600B+ opportunity to revolutionize how we approach scientific discovery, medical research, financial modeling, and business intelligence.

Our Momentum: We're the world-leading organization working on structured data, and we're accelerating fast. Our TabPFN v2 model was published in Nature and set the new state-of-the-art for structured data ML. Since it's release, we've scaled up 20x in model capabilities, hit 2.5M+ downloads, 5,500+ GitHub stars, and growth is accelerating. We're now building the next generation of models that combine AI advancements with specialized architectures for structured data and actively commercializing them with global enterprises across Europe & the US.

The Team: We're a small team of 20+ permanent hires selected from 5,000+ applicants - building the next generation of foundation models for structured data. Led by the founders behind the TabPFN lineage, we bring together talent from Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, G-Research, Jane Street, Goldman Sachs and CERN, among others. We're backed by heavyweight advisors including Bernhard Schölkopf and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun. Meet the team here.

What's Next: Backed by top-tier investors and leaders from Hugging Face, DeepMind, Black Forest Labs and Silo AI, we're scaling fast. This is the moment to join: help us shape the future of structured data AI. Read our manifesto.
