# Exploring Organisations

> Discover the companies, research groups, and communities that develop and publish AI models.

Every model on AI Stats is linked to an **organisation** - the entity responsible for developing, training, and maintaining that model.\
Organisations form the backbone of the AI ecosystem, and understanding who builds what helps you contextualize each model's purpose, capabilities, and reliability.

## What an organisation page includes

Each organisation page provides an overview of the company or research group, including:

| Section              | Description                                                                     |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overview**         | Basic details such as name, description, country, founding year, and website.   |
| **Published Models** | All models released by the organisation, including archived or deprecated ones. |

## Types of organisations on AI Stats

| Type                        | Example                     | Description                                                          |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Research labs**           | OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind | Focused on cutting-edge AI model development and innovation.         |
| **Tech companies**          | Google, Meta, Microsoft     | Deploy large-scale AI infrastructure and consumer applications.      |
| **Startups**                | Mistral, Perplexity, Suno   | Smaller teams building specialized or efficient AI systems.          |
| **Open-source communities** | Hugging Face, Stability AI  | Decentralized collaborations offering transparent model development. |

## Provider vs organisation

It's important to distinguish between **organisations** and **API providers**:

| Aspect         | Organisation                                | API Provider                                                                |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Definition** | The creator or maintainer of the model.     | The platform offering API access to that model.                             |
| **Example**    | *Anthropic* built the Claude series.        | *Anthropic*, *AWS* and *Google Vertex* all provide access to Claude models. |
| **Focus**      | Research, training, and model architecture. | Hosting, routing, pricing, and user experience.                             |

Some organisations (like OpenAI or Google) are both the **developer** and **provider**, while others partner with multiple platforms for distribution.

## Contributing organisation data

If you notice missing or outdated information about an organisation, you can update it directly through GitHub.\
Contributions help maintain accuracy across the platform.
