About Us

We revolutionize manufacturing

Founded in August 2020 with two international locations in Silicon Valley, CA, and Seoul, Korea, Gauss Labs is home to Gaussians who are enthusiastic about reshaping manufacturing through innovative industrial AI solutions.

Our Mission

The world's most trusted industrial AI innovator

We create reliable, robust, and scalable AI technology for the most difficult and fundamental challenges industry faces. Our products and solutions aim to make enterprises more efficient, machines more intelligent, and humans more human.

Gaussian Norms

Focus on the What and Why

We are professional problem solvers with a result driven attitude. We always get to the bottom of the problem in our quest for solutions. We care the most about what we solve and why we solve it. How to solve it follows naturally. We are not married to a specific dogma, and we try all available approaches imaginable. If none works, we shall invent one.

Highest Standards

We insist on relentlessly high standards. We continually raise the bar and drive ourselves to deliver highest-quality solutions, products, and platforms. Although Gauss Labs has to find balances and trade-offs in many aspects of its business, we never compromise the quality of our work.

Learning with Growth Mindset

We constantly learn and improve ourselves without a predefined boundary on who we are. We may not know everything from Day 1, but we believe that if we learn smart, we become smart fast. We never fear to take risks and fail as long as we can learn from such experiences.

Readiness for Deep Dive

Although we can gain valuable insights from high-level perspectives and elegant thought experiments, we acknowledge that there is no truth except in the details. Whenever the occasion calls for it, we drive off-road and get our hands dirty. No task is beneath us.

Ownership and Accountability

Everyone at Gauss Labs is an independent decision maker. No one knows our own problems and projects better than each of us. Supervisors and peers can give advice, but ultimately each of us takes the initiative, action, and responsibility.

Team Spirit

We achieve something that each of us cannot imagine ever achieving alone. We are confident that we can perform our herculean tasks as a team while complementing each other. We earn mutual trust by our current deeds as team members, not by individual past track records.

Principles communication chat boxes of three

Open Discussion and Communication

We express our diverse opinions vigorously and clearly. While we respect one another for their capability, experience, and good intention, we are not afraid of disagreeing on paths leading to our goal. We extract the most out of each interaction by challenging one another and communicate the derived conclusion with simplicity and clarity.
