About Yrikka

Vision AI that adapts
to the mission.

We build the data, evaluation, and model-adaptation tools that help autonomy teams move beyond the conditions their AI was trained on.

Discovery,
put to work.

Yrikka takes its name from the spirit of eureka: the moment an insight becomes useful. Our platforms bring that idea to vision AI and autonomous systems.

Yrikka launched in 2025 with contextual testing and red-teaming for visual AI. ORION builds on that work to cover the full cycle: data, testing and model adaptation.

ORION

Prepare and generate data, test vision models and VLMs, and automate fine-tuning.

ATLAS

Generate mission worlds and put your autonomy stack in them.

APEX

Programmatic access to Yrikka's data generation, testing and adaptation capabilities.

Team

Drawing on experiences—from advancing healthcare AI innovations at the Mayo Clinic to spearheading space machine learning explorations at NASA—our co-founders transformed their expertise into a mission to redefine how AI is built and deployed in high-stakes environments. Our team includes researchers and engineers trained at Cornell.
