Ndea

Ndea is an AI research and science laboratory founded by Francois Chollet (creator of the Keras deep learning library and the ARC-AGI benchmark) and Mike Knoop (co-founder of Zapier) with the mission of building frontier AI systems that blend intuitive pattern recognition and formal reasoning into a single unified architecture. Ndea treats program synthesis, enhanced by deep learning, as a pathway to artificial general intelligence, arguing that synthesizing discrete programs that explain observed data generalizes better from few examples than deep learning alone. Its stated ambition is to build a "factory for rapid scientific advancement." Both founders also serve on the board of the nonprofit ARC Prize Foundation. Ndea publishes no public API, developer portal, or SDK at this time; this profile tracks the company's public web surface and is added to the API Evangelist network as a Menlo Ventures portfolio lead.

Ndea is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, AGI, Machine Learning, and Program Synthesis.

Ndea’s developer surface includes YouTube channel and 8 more developer resources.
