About

Built like the tree it’s named after.

The coral tree has a specific shape. One strong, grounded trunk anchors everything. From it, bold limbs branch outward in many directions — each one distinct, each one supported by the same root system beneath. The range is only possible because the foundation is real.

That is the firm. The trunk is the depth — model architecture from scratch, large-scale training, production systems designed and shipped. The branches are everything that depth makes possible: the products built, the domains served, the problems solved.

02What we have built

Across the full AI stack. Every layer.

Not observing each layer — building it. Across enough domains and at enough scale that the patterns are familiar, the failure modes are known, and the decisions that matter are clear before the engagement begins.

01
Model Architecture

From transformer design to training objectives.

02
Large-Scale Training

Multi-GPU, multi-instance, across hundreds of thousands of records.

03
Dataset Processing

Ingestion, transformation, and orchestration at scale.

04
Retrieval & Search

Semantic, multimodal, and hybrid — from index to ranked result.

05
Agentic Systems

LLM-orchestrated, multi-step, production-deployed.

06
Model Serving

Low-latency inference at billions of daily requests.

07
Production MLOps

Drift detection, observability, and continuous evaluation in production.

03The team

Two principals. Every engagement.

The people you speak to are the people doing the work. That does not change as engagements progress.

04Why this firm exists

The depth is the point.

Coral Tree was founded on a specific premise: that the most valuable thing an outside AI firm can bring is firsthand experience — the kind earned by designing systems from scratch and living with the consequences, not the kind read about secondhand. That experience doesn’t scale easily. It lives in the people.

That is what every engagement is built on.
