Origin Lab is a platform and technology company that captures, creates, and delivers premium, rights-cleared multimodal content for AI training. Our catalogs span video game play capture, 3D environments, TV/Film, and animation, each AI-enriched with queryable metadata, structured annotations, and clear licensing. Every asset is rights-cleared and never scraped. We also build custom datasets to spec. As a research company, we are exploring generative world-building pipelines to synthesize the highest-resolution, highest-fidelity 3D environments that simulate scenes from our observable world. We are also developing synthetic human players to autonomously capture and QA training content at scale, improving dataset efficiency and reducing cost. If you are interested in joining our team, or are an AI team or researcher looking for licensed content and data for spatial reasoning, world simulation, or multimodal generation, reach out. Origin Lab is based in California, founded by a team from Twitch, Amazon, AI, and the video game industry. Our vision: be the data economy for Artificial World Intelligence, where rights holders share in the upside and AI systems learn from better data with less waste.

Loto Labs is a Silicon-Valley-based startup which developed the world’s first electromagnetic induction vaporizer in 2014. Loto was founded in 2014 with a vision of creating the most advanced vaporization features and experiences. Dedicated to continuous innovation, guided by a deep understanding of its customers and community at large, Loto Labs leads in the technological evolution of vaporization. Loto holds numerous patents and patents pending, including vaporization through electromagnetic induction heating—the most profound vaporizer technology patent filing to date. By taking a holistic ecosystem approach, Loto Labs is focused on changing the world of vapes for good; elevating consumer expectations. Lux (AKA Evoke), Loto’s first product, launched through a successful crowdfunding campaign and was the world’s first-ever induction heating vaporizer. Lux generated significant media attention for Loto Labs which enabled invaluable partnerships and strategic investors. The excitement and support of Lux built a foundation on which Loto invented and developed Legend: a revolutionary safe and easy-to-use dab rig powered by electromagnetic induction heating. Legend was designed and manufactured in the USA and built from the ground up using the highest quality industrial design and space-age materials. Four years after our initial filing, our induction patent was granted both nationally and internationally. Bolstered by this event, we pivoted our attention to R&D and product miniaturization. We are focused on providing the power, speed, and safety of Legend — in pocket sized experience fitting in the palm of our hands. We amped up our engineering and science talent, intently focused on developing miniaturization, precision temperature control, and producing empirical data which shows induction is best in class. Today we continue to innovate, develop new methods for vaping and prove that induction technology is truly safer, cleaner and unlocking the future.
