Ikigai Research & Innovation
Founded on nearly two decades of groundbreaking MIT research, Ikigai Labs transforms enterprise decision-making through patented Large Graphical Models and cutting-edge AI innovation.

Latest Research
Our breakthrough research demonstrates how compact foundation models can achieve state-of-the-art performance on time series forecasting tasks while requiring significantly fewer computational resources than traditional large language models.
Core Technologies
Ikigai Labs' competitive advantage stems from decades of MIT research translated into commercial AI systems that solve real-world enterprise challenges.
Core Technology
Our patented Large Graphical Model technology represents a fundamental shift in how AI approaches enterprise data. Unlike LLMs trained on text, LGMs are purpose-built for structured, tabular, and time series data—combining probabilistic graphical models with deep learning to understand the complex relationships inherent in business operations.


Human-AI Collaboration
Traditional AI systems operate as black boxes, unable to incorporate human expertise. Our eXpert-in-the-Loop (XitL) framework creates a continuous feedback loop between AI models and domain experts, enabling planners, analysts, and managers to actively guide model learning without technical expertise.
Transparency
Understanding why an AI system makes predictions is critical for enterprise adoption. Our explainability features are fundamental to LGM technology - not afterthoughts. Rather than post-hoc interpretation methods, we provide native transparency throughout the entire AI pipeline with rich contextual information.

Research Impact
Our academic foundation translates into tangible competitive advantages for enterprise AI applications.
Achieve 20-40% better accuracy on enterprise forecasting compared to traditional statistical methods and generic LLMs.
Dramatically fewer parameters than LLMs, enabling faster inference, lower computational costs, and on-premise deployment.
Built-in interpretability shows which patterns and features drive forecasts, enabling trust and governance.
Designed for production deployment with security, scalability, and integration with existing enterprise systems.
Validated across Fortune 500 companies with measurable improvements in forecast accuracy and business outcomes.
Built on peer-reviewed research and continuous innovation from MIT's leading AI and operations research labs.
