AMILabs.xyz – Gandi customer – (United States)
Forward-looking AI research labs and developers use .xyz domains to build and share new approaches to machine intelligence. Crypto payment platform AEON.xyz, by former Binance and Google team members, develops payment infrastructure for AI-driven transactions. AI data infrastructure Hub.xyz builds a distributed network for real-time machine intelligence. AI Scientist platform PathIntegral.xyz is designed to support global collaboration and accelerate scientific discovery. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to an AI research lab building world models designed to understand and interact with the physical world: AMILabs.xyz.
AMILabs.xyz is the online home of AMI Labs, an AI research company focused on building systems that understand and interact with the physical world. According to AMILabs.xyz, the company is developing “world models” designed to learn from real-world sensor data, including inputs from cameras and other modalities. These systems are intended to form abstract representations of the environment. The systems are designed to support reasoning and planning and operate with persistent memory under defined safety constraints. The company states that its goal is to build intelligent systems that move beyond language-based models and instead start from real-world interaction. As reported by TechCrunch in March 2026, AMI Labs raised $1.03B in a seed round.1 The company was co-founded by Yann LeCun, and the round values the company at approximately $3.5B. Coverage from Crunchbase News describes the raise as one of the largest seed rounds in Europe, with a focus on advancing world model research.2
The company positions its work around the limitations of current generative AI approaches when applied to real-world data. According to the company, real-world inputs are continuous, high-dimensional, and often unpredictable, which can make direct prediction difficult. AMI Labs’ approach focuses on learning in representation space, where models can ignore unpredictable details and instead focus on stable structure. The company also describes “action-conditioned world models,” which are designed to help systems predict the outcomes of actions and plan sequences toward specific tasks, with safety guardrails in place. AMI Labs states that this type of system can be applied to areas such as robotics, industrial automation, healthcare, and wearable devices.
AMI Labs was co-founded by Yann LeCun, who serves as Executive Chairman, and Alex LeBrun, who serves as CEO (according to their LinkedIn profiles). Yann LeCun is a recipient of the 2018 ACM A.M. Turing Award (often described as the highest honor in computer science), awarded for his contributions to deep learning.3 His experience includes roles as VP and Chief AI Scientist at Meta, where he led AI research strategy and contributed to the development of Facebook AI Research (FAIR). He has also held multiple academic positions at New York University since 2003, across computer science, neural science, data science, and engineering. Alex LeBrun previously co-founded and served as CEO of Nabla, an AI company focused on healthcare applications, and earlier co-founded Wit.ai, a natural language processing platform that was acquired by Facebook. He also worked in engineering at Facebook AI Research (FAIR). Their backgrounds span machine learning, natural language processing, and applied AI systems, as described on their LinkedIn profiles.
The company operates on the domain AMILabs.xyz and uses branded contact points such as [email protected]. This reflects a broader pattern of AI research organizations using distinct domains to represent their work and communication. A domain like AMILabs.xyz can make the organization’s name directly findable, while a branded email address provides a consistent identifier for outreach and partnerships. You can learn more by following the company on X/Twitter and by visiting AMILabs.xyz.

ArkLabs.xyz – GoDaddy customer – (Switzerland)
Developers in the Bitcoin ecosystem use .xyz domains to build infrastructure and expand decentralized finance. Hybrid blockchain project GoBob.xyz aims to bridge Bitcoin and Ethereum for decentralized finance. Bitcoin mining initiative Proto.xyz develops modular hardware and open-source management software. Web3 platform Omega.xyz aims to pioneer Bitcoin DeFi with cross-chain yield generation solutions. In this week’s #BlockchainThursday, we’ll introduce you to a project building programmable financial infrastructure on Bitcoin: ArkLabs.xyz.
ArkLabs.xyz is the online home of Ark Labs, a company building infrastructure for programmable finance on Bitcoin. According to its website, the platform is designed to support financial applications such as payments, escrow, and asset management using Bitcoin and stablecoins. Its core technology focuses on enabling offchain transaction execution while maintaining the ability to settle on Bitcoin. In March 2026, Ark Labs raised a $5.2M seed round led by Tether, a company that issues the USDT stablecoin. Additional participants included Ego Death Capital, Epoch VC, Lion26, Sats Ventures, and Ralph Ho, former VP of Finance at PayPal.1
Ark Labs positions its platform as infrastructure for financial applications rather than a standalone product. According to ArkLabs.xyz, the company highlights use cases across fintechs, brokerages, and asset managers, including settlement, liquidity strategies, and yield products. The platform is described as enabling continuous global transactions without intermediaries or fixed operating hours. The platform’s whitepaper describes a protocol that groups multiple transactions and settles them on Bitcoin, which can reduce onchain activity while allowing users to retain control of their funds. This approach situates Ark Labs within a broader set of efforts to expand Bitcoin’s role in financial systems by adding execution layers.
The company is led by CEO Marco Argentieri. According to his LinkedIn profile, he has worked across product and blockchain roles, including positions at Vulpem Ventures and SingularityNET, a decentralized AI network. At SingularityNET, he led blockchain strategy for the platform. He also held product leadership roles before becoming CEO of Ark Labs in 2024. Marco is also listed as Head of Innovation for Lugano’s Plan ₿ initiative, a Bitcoin-focused project in Lugano, Switzerland, as of March 2026.
ArkLabs.xyz selected a .xyz domain as the primary home for its Bitcoin-based financial infrastructure. This aligns with a broader pattern of blockchain and infrastructure projects adopting .xyz domains for developer-facing platforms and protocols. The domain presents the company’s focus on programmable finance and Bitcoin-based infrastructure, along with information about its technology and funding announcement. You can learn more by following the company on X/Twitter and LinkedIn, and by visiting ArkLabs.xyz.
