# Nomic AI

> Nomic AI is a New York-based artificial intelligence company building tools to make large, unstructured datasets and AI models understandable and usable by everyone. It is best known for Atlas, a browser-based platform for visualizing and interacting with massive datasets; the open-source Nomic Embed family of text, code, and multimodal embedding models; and GPT4All, an ecosystem for running large language models privately on everyday hardware. Since 2025 the company has focused its platform on the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, applying its embedding and retrieval technology to drawing review, code compliance, and document-heavy construction workflows.

- **Founded:** 2022
- **Headquarters:** New York, New York, United States
- **Founders:** Andriy Mulyar (Co-Founder & CEO), Brandon Duderstadt (Co-Founder & CTO), Ben Schmidt (Co-Founder & VP of Information Design)
- **Team size:** ~17 employees
- **Products:** Atlas, GPT4All, Nomic Embed Text, Nomic Embed Text v2, Nomic Embed Multimodal / Code
- **Notable:** Nomic Embed outperformed OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 while being fully open source and reproducible., Released the first embedding model built on a Mixture-of-Experts architecture (Nomic Embed Text v2)., GPT4All became one of the most popular open-source local-LLM projects, with millions of downloads.

## Products & services

- **Atlas** — A browser-based data engine and embedding-space explorer that lets anyone visualize, curate, search, and share datasets ranging from hundreds to tens of millions of points across text, image, audio, and video.
- **GPT4All** — An open-source ecosystem for running large language models locally on consumer hardware, enabling private, offline document chat and chatbot deployment.
- **Nomic Embed Text** — An open-source, fully reproducible long-context (8,192 token) text embedding model released under Apache 2.0 that outperformed OpenAI's Ada-002 on short and long context tasks.
- **Nomic Embed Text v2** — A multilingual embedding model and the first to use a Mixture-of-Experts architecture, trained on 1.6 billion high-quality data pairs.
- **Nomic Embed Multimodal / Code** — State-of-the-art embedding models for visual document retrieval and code search, processing interleaved text, images, and screenshots.
- **Nomic for AEC** — A domain-focused AI platform applying Nomic's embedding and retrieval stack to architecture, engineering, and construction workflows like drawing review, code compliance, submittals, and RFI responses.
