Mox is San Francisco's largest AI safety coworking and community space, occupying four floors and approximately 40,000 square feet at 1680 Mission Street. It was founded in February 2025 by Austin Chen (CEO of Manifund) and Rachel Shu, who serves as Director. The founders observed that most AI safety community hubs were located in Berkeley while the important AI lab work was concentrated in San Francisco, and created Mox to close that gap.
In its first year of operation, Mox grew to 183 active members with 50 to 80 people present on typical coworking days. The space offers 15 private offices, numerous hot desks, conference rooms, a gym, and a nap room. Mox operates a Guest Program with 19 partner organizations, giving their team members free drop-in access; public partners include MIRI, FAR.AI, Redwood Research, BlueDot Impact, Palisade, GovAI, EPOCH, AI Impacts, Timaeus, Elicit, Evitable, and MATS…
Mox's theory of change is that co-location and high-density social infrastructure accelerates high-impact work on AI safety and adjacent cause areas. By concentrating researchers, founders, and practitioners working on important problems in a well-resourced physical space in San Francisco, Mox aims to increase serendipitous collaboration, knowledge transfer, and the formation of new projects and organizations. Hosting fellowships, incubators, and events multiplies the number of people entering and advancing in the AI safety field. Rather than taking a specific thesis on AI safety approaches, Mox provides shared infrastructure that benefits a wide range of organizations and individuals across technical AI safety, policy, and EA cause areas.
