Profile note
Punches far above its weight in open research: co-created ColPali (which reshaped visual document retrieval worldwide) and CroissantLLM (the reference truly-bilingual FR-EN small model), both with CentraleSupélec. Commercially it is an enterprise AI builder, now PE-owned, with no public pricing.
