Mantis was founded by 3 ex-Wellcome Trust colleagues who saw the potential their pioneering work could bring to organisations at the intersection between life sciences research and philanthropy.
We are thought leaders with over a decade of experience implementing AI solutions, well before LLMs. This experience means we understand the tools available and choose the best one for your environment and circumstances
We are world leaders in AI-driven impact optimisation and are at the forefront of developing the AI techniques embedded in solutions today. Our work is at the heart of organisations as diverse as UKRI, the National Institutes of Health, Gates Foundation, Rockefeller, Wellcome Trust and Novo Nordisk.
AI and NLP are not neutral technologies and the way we choose to use them can bring tremendous positives but can have potential unintended consequences. We review the use of AI on a per project basis to reduce possible misuse. AI is a sociotechnology: need as much focus on culture and business processes as on the technology
Open source software and practices have made, among other things, the AI revolution possible. They accelerate progress, and encourage collaboration between people and organisations. We use open source by default, and contribute to the open source community where possible.
If you can’t reproduce it, it didn’t happen. We believe that our work should be easily reproducible. This sounds self evident, but ensuring reproducibility takes planning and discipline. Reproducibility encourages trust in the results, enables better collaboration within a team, and reduces duplication of work.
It’s our responsibility to combat climate change to support a more sustainable way of life. Large Generative AI models are causing ever greater environmental impacts. We believe that for many applications smaller, less environmentally impactful models are better from a business point of view, and we advocate for their use.
We want to provide a healthy working environment to everyone at Mantis that balances work and life and prioritises mental wellbeing. We believe flexibility and regular feedback play a crucial role in fostering a comfortable and rewarding working environment.
