A founder-led AI studio building premium developer services for the agent economy.
24K Labs was founded by Sean Pembroke -- an Agentic AI Developer building at the intersection of autonomous AI systems, micropayment protocols, and developer tooling.
Sean's background spans multi-agent orchestration, AI system architecture, constitutional AI governance, and full-stack development. He builds AI systems that don't just respond -- they operate, decide, and deliver autonomously.
The software industry is entering the age of machine-to-machine commerce. AI agents are already trading crypto, managing portfolios, writing code, and hiring other AI agents to complete tasks. They need services they can discover, pay for, and consume without human intervention.
24K Labs builds those services. Premium AI capabilities delivered via API, paid per request in USDC through the x402 protocol. No accounts. No API keys. No subscriptions. No humans required in the loop.
We believe in quality over quantity. Every request is processed by frontier AI -- not a fine-tuned toy, not a watered-down model. You get the best, and you pay only for what you use.
Every request is powered by Claude -- Anthropic's frontier AI model. The most capable, most reliable reasoning engine available.
HTTP-native micropayments by Coinbase. The HTTP 402 status code finally does what it was designed for 30 years ago: request payment.
Payments settle on Base (Coinbase's L2 chain) in USDC stablecoins. Sub-cent transaction fees. Instant settlement.
Global CDN, DDoS protection, and edge compute. Your requests are fast no matter where you are.
We're building for a world where AI agents have wallets, preferences, and purchasing power. Where a coding agent can discover a security audit service, pay $25 in USDC, and get a vulnerability report back in seconds -- all without a human touching anything.
That world is arriving faster than most people think. The x402 protocol has already processed hundreds of millions in transactions. Autonomous AI agents are already operating on-chain. The infrastructure is live.
24K Labs is here to be the gold standard of AI services in that economy.
