In 2019, Jessica was building AI systems for pathology when she started wondering what exactly her models had learned from their training data. Disappointed with existing interpretability methods, she began researching her own – and found that sometimes, her models knew things that she didn’t.
Four years, several publications and most of a PhD later, her work on glitch tokens sparked widespread interest. She secured funding to found Leap Laboratories with Jugal – with the mission of using interpretability to fully, and safely, unlock the promise of AI.
We are a small team of diverse backgrounds and skillsets in AI, engineering, and operations dedicated to making this future a reality.

There is no such thing as over-communicating. We ensure our independent work does not become siloed through consistent collaboration, ideation sessions, and thinking out loud.
We work together in one room with no walls between us. Be prepared for vocal lightbulb moments and pacing around. Headphones are encouraged for deep work.
