Hedra builds the research and infrastructure behind visual intelligence.

Hedra is a research lab built to solve the hardest problems in inference. Our history in world and action models is in our DNA and at the core of how we think about optimization beyond just text.

We are practical. Our research has led to launching WMR, the inference engine that optimizes VLA, world action, and image models. While we continue to improve that engine, we are also solving problems like efficient deployment across a variety of environments and GPUs and working with companies to develop their models to get the most out of all these technologies.

We are forward-looking. We continue to explore. We believe the world is moving beyond text into many challenges around diffusion that we are uniquely positioned to solve.

We have experience. We arrived at this vision after building, optimizing, and deploying our own video models and building a creative agent that serves all the top models across multiple modalities. We’ve solved the difficult problems of building and scaling models firsthand and are excited to bring that hard-earned knowledge to you and your models.

A few things we’re currently exploring

WMR is our inference engine beyond text.

GPU Sandboxes help model providers optimize and serve their models.

Training draws on WMR, our GPUs, and our research experience to help model providers train and post-train effectively.

Infrastructure connects all these pieces into a foundation for the future.

What makes the Hedra team different

Meritocracy

Ideas should be voiced regardless of title or function. Above and beyond is expected. Performance is rewarded.

Customer Obsessed

We obsess about the user’s perspective. Customer feedback drives our roadmap and priorities.

Ownership + Action

We come with solutions, not problems. We seek answers to questions and act with speed and conviction.

Empathy + Respect

We respect each other’s opinions, assume best intentions, and act with transparency.

Unity Above All Else

We work together as a team. We disagree, then commit to acting as one.

Hands-On Leadership

Leaders are available, clarify the why behind our work, and bring energy to their teams.
