Founded in Paris in 2023, Kyutai has emerged as one of Europe\u2019s leading AI laboratories, with a focus on breakthrough research with immediate and lasting impact, and a team driven by a shared commitment to openness and excellence. It was originally funded by the iliad Group, CMA CGM and Eric and Wendy Schmidt&#8217;s philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ELLIS Institute T\u00fcbingen has established itself as a leading center for foundational AI research, attracting top machine learning talent and providing state-of-the-art facilities in T\u00fcbingen, Germany. Funded by the Hector Foundation and the State of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, and collaborating closely with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of T\u00fcbingen, it is part of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, a pan-European network of excellence in machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"https:\/\/cyber-valley.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/content_group_picture_kesai_kyutai_2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyber-valley.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/content_group_picture_kesai_kyutai_2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyber-valley.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/content_group_picture_kesai_kyutai_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyber-valley.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/content_group_picture_kesai_kyutai_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyber-valley.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/content_group_picture_kesai_kyutai_2.jpg 1110w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 KE:SAI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KE:SAI has offices in T\u00fcbingen and Paris. It provides the specialized resources necessary to conduct world-class frontier research in physical intelligence, including high-performance compute infrastructure and hardware prototyping. By integrating foundational open research and the agility of modern startups, KE:SAI will develop a fully open technology stack for physical AI. Unlike related areas of AI, where sharing of algorithms and models triggered an explosion of innovation, physical AI has yet to benefit from this flywheel. KE:SAI\u2019s mission is to accelerate this transition and democratize physical AI. With Europe&#8217;s ecosystem of global automotive and manufacturing leaders, KE:SAI&#8217;s open science approach will rapidly translate to real-world industrial scale, establishing itself at the forefront of open-source physical AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cem \u00d6zdemir, Minister-President of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, says: \u201cI am delighted that Kyutai, the internationally renowned AI research lab based in Paris, is now setting up shop in our AI ecosystem in T\u00fcbingen. We extend a warm welcome to them! Bienvenue and welcome. Kyutai\u2019s establishment in T\u00fcbingen demonstrates that Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg is at the heart of European AI research. In T\u00fcbingen, brilliant minds meet first-class infrastructure. In addition to the Cyber\u00a0Valley Innovation Campus, with the ELLIS Institute, the Max Planck Institute, and the participating universities, our innovation landscape includes other powerhouses such as the IPAI in Heilbronn or the AI Factory HammerHAI, to name just a few highlights. With the new KE:SAI research lab, top-tier talent is now advancing outstanding research excellence in the fields of 3D computer vision, data-driven simulation, causality, and physical AI. Kyutai and Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg are focusing on scientific excellence to enable world-leading AI research with the goal of achieving Europe\u2019s digital sovereignty. I thank everyone involved who contributed to this success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the full press release&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/institute-tue.ellis.eu\/en\/news\/kyutai-ellis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here.<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11862,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"cv-tag":[],"location":[],"network-role":[],"news-category":[446],"user-group":[242,243,244,245,246],"class_list":["post-11861","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-news","user-group-start-up","user-group-investor","user-group-corporate","user-group-researcher","user-group-entrepreneur"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kyutai and ELLIS T\u00fcbingen launch KE:SAI - Cyber Valley<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/cyber-valley.de\/de\/news\/kyutai-and-ellis-tubingen-launch-kesai\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kyutai and ELLIS T\u00fcbingen launch KE:SAI - Cyber Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"T\u00dcBINGEN, Germany and&nbsp;PARIS, France\u2014May 20, 2026.&nbsp;Kyutai and ELLIS T\u00fcbingen announce the official launch of KE:SAI\u2014Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence.
