Transluce is a nonprofit AI research lab dedicated to public understanding and independent oversight of AI systems. It was co-founded in 2024 by Jacob Steinhardt (UC Berkeley statistics professor) and Sarah Schwettmann (former MIT CSAIL research scientist) to build open, scalable technology for interpreting AI model internals and behaviors.
Its main product is Docent, an open-source platform (Apache 2.0) for analyzing AI agent transcripts at scale, used to detect reward hacking, instruction violations, and other unwanted behaviors in agent traces. Transluce also conducts independent evaluations and incident investigations of frontier AI systems and models.
Transluce founded and chairs the AI Evaluator Forum, a network of third-party AI evaluators working on oversight standards, and has acted as a technical contractor to bodies such as the EU AI Office. It is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the legal name Clarity AI Research Inc. and is funded by philanthropic grants and donations rather than venture capital.
