About
SID is an AI company focused on providing crucial context for artificial intelligence. They believe that while AI offers learning, reasoning, and acting capabilities, intelligence is limited without proper context. At SID, they train models to deliver this context, aiming to connect intelligence to the real world. Their flagship product, SID-1, is an agentic retrieval model designed to efficiently find and provide the right context. SID-1 boasts 1.8x better recall and is 24x faster than previous methods. It also doubles embedding-only accuracy and outperforms other frontier models on highly complex retrieval tasks. The company is a lean team based in San Francisco, backed by notable investors like Y Combinator and Canaan.
