About Us
We're Kentauros AI, an open source R&D AI company that marries machine learning and good old fashioned programming with human intuition. Our philosophy is to make AI that works with us, as a co-worker and a digital friend.
Kentauros is Greek for Centaur.
The idea of the centaurs came to us from Gary Kasparov. After losing to Deep Blue, he sponsored a tournament where you could enter as an AI, a person, or an AI/person hybrid team. That evolved into “Freestyle chess” and in 2005 it wasn’t a grandmaster with an AI who won the tournament.
It was two expert players and an AI.
From the very beginning it’s been clear that AI can level up everyone to more advanced levels. Today, Centaurs can do a lot more than level up your chess. We're working hard to make sure they can help you do complex, open ended tasks in the real world.
