cTuning Labs
cTuning Labs is an independent R&D and advisory initiative founded by Grigori Fursin to help startups, enterprises, and investors transform emerging technologies in computing and AI into efficient, scalable, and cost-effective systems while reducing technical risk and time-to-market.
An open-source automation framework for AI agents — designed by a human and enhanced by AI agents.
One interface over tools, tasks, hosts, knowledge and results: portable artifacts with metadata that people and AI agents share and build on.
cTuning Labs builds on Grigori’s long-standing, community-driven interdisciplinary R&D, open-source developments, automation platforms, first-principles approach, and experience across physics, computer engineering, machine learning, AI systems, startups, open-source ecosystems, and industry. This work has been recognized through multiple international awards, including two ACM/IEEE Test of Time Awards (2017 and 2025), and validated through collaborative real-world projects involving Arm, General Motors, Amazon, Google, Intel, IBM, MLCommons, ACM, and others.
We help with self-optimizing AI infrastructure, software–hardware co-design, agentic R&D automation, reproducible benchmarking, digital twins, simulation, performance modelling, and efficient computing systems from cloud to edge.
Grigori now works at Dapple while using, supporting and extending the open-source cMeta automation framework.
