See the structure behind AI success.
We mapped 420+ people and 1,700+ public ties behind frontier AI. Then we analyzed how they broke in, built trust, raised capital, and became powerful. The interactive map and companion book turn those patterns into something you can explore.
Designed for students, researchers, founders, operators, investors, journalists, and career changers. Start with the Preface.
"The framing does what I hadn't done on my own. I knew most of these people and most of the moves, but never as a coherent map. Putting it in one structured form with explicit edge types, tiers, and connectors makes the field readable in a way no amount of LinkedIn-skimming ever did."
"I ran Louvain community detection on the dataset. Most of the top communities reproduce things the book already covers. The book gets there via narrative; the algorithm gets there via edge density. Convergent results, which says good things about how the underlying data is constructed."
