Company

A small lab with a big threat model.

Lanbo Lab was founded in 2024 by engineers who spent years watching promising AI features stall in security review. We build the layer that lets enterprises say yes.

Our story

Neutral by design.

The companies that build foundation models are not the right companies to grade them. So we made a deliberate choice on day one: Lanbo Lab will never train or sell a foundation model. Our only job is to test, guard and audit the AI systems our customers build, on whichever model they choose.

That neutrality is the product. It means our red team has no reason to go easy on any provider, our evals compare models honestly, and our guardrails work the same way whether you run GPT, Claude, Llama or something you fine-tuned last week.

We're a team of security researchers, infrastructure engineers and ML practitioners. We publish what we find, we answer our own pager, and we think the word "responsible" should come with a test suite.

How we work

Four rules we don't break.

Attack ourselves first

Every Probe release is red-teamed by Probe. If we can't break it, we hire someone who can.

Fast is a safety feature

Guardrails that add a second of latency get turned off. Ours stay under 30ms or they don't ship.

Show the receipts

Every verdict comes with the prompt, the policy and the reasoning. No black boxes guarding black boxes.

Your data is not our dataset

Customer traffic never trains anything outside your tenant. Ever. It's in the contract.

The team

The people who
break things for you.
