About
kausable is a Heidelberg, Germany-based deep-tech AI startup founded in 2025 by three physicists with ties to Heidelberg University and Black Forest Labs. It builds reasoning-first foundational 'world models' that use causal reasoning and synthetic training data to learn from minimal data and adapt to new situations without retraining, targeting robotics, energy, healthcare and finance. Its TipPFN model does zero-shot forecasting of rare, high-impact 'black swan' events in complex dynamic systems.
