Research-first and human-centered.
Our brains continually process sensory input – helping us understand what has happened and predict what might happen next. This ability, known as perceptual reasoning, forms the basis of human intelligence.
AI, as rolled out so far, has bypassed a crucial learning step: creating a robust world representation through video, which closely resembles the sensory input that gives rise to human perception.
At TwelveLabs, we’re bridging this gap by training cutting-edge foundation models to learn rich, multimodal representations from video data, then using these representations for high-level reasoning tasks involving language.
Through video-native AI, we’re helping machines learn about the world – and enabling humans to retrieve, capture, and tell their visual stories better.

THE POWER OF ALIGNMENT
Reasoning: Inducing the perceptual reasoning capability through video and language alignment
True video understanding requires the ability to reason about what is perceived. This is where our video-language model, Pegasus, comes into play.
Pegasus merges the reasoning skills learned from large language models (text data) with the perceptual understanding gained from our video encoder model (video data). By aligning these two modalities, Pegasus can perform cross-modal reasoning, inferring meaning and intent from Marengo's rich, multimodal representations.
It’s the synergy between Marengo and Pegasus — the alignment of video and language – that enables perceptual reasoning capabilities in our AI systems. Building on the strengths of both models, we can develop systems that not only perceive and understand the visual world, but also reason about it in a way that resembles human cognition.
