Adaption

Adaption (Adaption Labs) is a San Francisco AI research company building adaptive, continuously-learning AI systems rather than relying on ever-larger static models. Founded in 2026 by former Cohere leaders Sara Hooker and Sudip Roy, it exited stealth with a $50M seed round led by Emergence Capital. Its first product, Adaptive Data, exposes a REST API and official Python SDK to ingest, adapt, evaluate, and export model-ready training datasets — folding data-optimization techniques usually reserved for frontier labs into a self-serve workflow for everyday teams.

Adaption publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Datasets API and Upload API. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Machine-Learning, Training Data, and Datasets.

Adaption’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 5 more developer resources.
