Post-transformer Live AI models with continuous on-the-fly learning
About Pathway
Pathway is a frontier AI research company (Palo Alto, Paris and Wrocław) building post-transformer model architectures for continuous, real-time learning. Led by CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska with CPO Adam Kurzrok (ex-Google DeepMind Gemini), CTO Jan Chorowski and CSO Adrian Kosowski, Pathway develops Baby Dragon Hatchling (BDH), a biologically inspired state-space architecture with persistent recurrent memory aimed at specialised reasoning models for finance, technology and healthcare. In August 2026 Pathway secured an additional seed tranche that brought total seed funding to $30 million at a $500 million valuation, with backers including Id4 Ventures, TQ Ventures, Red Bridge Ventures, Kadmos Capital, WS Investment Co. and angel Jonathan Frankle, to expand NVIDIA Blackwell/GB300 compute and accelerate BDH development.
