SigmaZ AI

Vertical Models

SigmaZ AI, formally SigmaZ AI Lab, is an interactive intelligence product lab with teams in Hangzhou, China and London, UK, and a US registered address in Dover, Delaware. It was co-founded by William Yang, born in 2003, and Derek Law, previously the visual code training tech lead on flagship models at Amazon's AGI lab in London. The company began with CuFlow, an AI study platform that turns PDFs, lecture slides, recordings and video links into summaries, mind maps, flashcards and quizzes, paired with an automatic note system and a source-grounded AI tutor; that product is in V1 alpha. The lab has since narrowed to two things: training its own Diffusion Language Model and a vision-guided recursive self-improvement framework. Rather than fixing pixels, its models generate visual code, producing frames viewers can interact with and rewrite live. Flagship product Tap8, an AI-native interactive video platform, had its vision announced in July 2026 and remains waitlist-only. Staff are drawn from Amazon AGI, Alibaba AI Lab, ByteDance AI and Baidu.
