Haize Labs is a New York-based AI safety and reliability startup that automates the red-teaming, stress-testing, and evaluation of large language models. Founded in 2024 by a trio of Harvard-trained researchers, the company builds algorithms that hunt for the inputs that make AI models misbehave - jailbreaks, failure modes, and edge cases - so they can be fixed before real users find them. Its 'haizing suite' and multi-turn attack engine Cascade are used by frontier model labs including OpenAI and Anthropic, alongside enterprises like Deloitte and MongoDB.
James Pham is the co-founder and CEO of Opsin, a San Francisco-area startup securing how enterprises adopt generative AI. After validating the problem through more than 300 conversations with industry leaders, he built Opsin to detect and remediate data oversharing in tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, and has since expanded it into a full enterprise agent security platform. An immigrant from Vietnam with an MIT MBA and a machine-learning product background from Abnormal Security, Pham now leads a company in production at regulated healthcare, manufacturing, and financial-services organizations.
