Founding cohorts · August 2026

AI knowledge from practitioners at the frontier.

Premium cohorts taught by senior operators shipping AI at frontier companies. The room is small. The bar is relevance.

Why Luminary

AI is now a required core competency.

Not a future skill, not a delegated task. The baseline for making strategic decisions and maintaining operational leverage at altitude.

Existing upskilling is sloppy, mass-market, junior.

The market is flooded with short courses optimized for sign-ups, not outcomes. There is no rigorous, high-signal curriculum built for people already operating at the highest levels.

Practitioners lead — academia can't keep pace.

The people building AI in production are the only ones who should be teaching it. Institutional curricula lag 18+ months behind the frontier.
