About us

About us

At Glade, we believe that the future of gaming lies in ever-evolving worlds and the tech that supports them. By combining generative AI into games, we create environments, stories, and relationships that grow and shift in real time.


At our core is GladeCore, a lightweight AI model that helps create deeply interactive characters - starting with our own game, Cursed Crown as the proof of what's possible.

Backed by leading investors in gaming and tech

Latest News

We just launched GladeCore, a lightweight and on-device LLM.


How it started: We were building a game with AI NPCs powered by cloud LLMs, but along the way, we ran into issues of high costs and scalability. Through some research and talks with other studios and game developers at GDC and various forums, we were inspired to find our own solution. After about a year of development, we finally launched our own LLM built specifically for games.
