# Introducing the Mox Guest Program
By Austin, Rachel Shu
Published: 2025-10-01
**TL;DR:** [Mox](https://moxsf.com/), a community space and incubator in San Francisco, is offering 2x/month complimentary access to members of AI safety orgs, and other causes we admire.

Current partners of the [Mox Guest Program](https://moxsf.com/guests) include:

*   [**ARC**](https://www.alignment.org/)
*   [**MIRI**](https://intelligence.org/)
*   [**Elicit**](https://elicit.com/)
*   [**GovAI**](https://governance.ai/)
*   [**FAR AI**](https://far.ai/)
*   [**Seldon Labs**](https://seldonlab.com/)
*   [**Tarbell Fellowship**](https://www.tarbellfellowship.org/https://www.tarbellfellowship.org/)
*   [**Redwood Research**](https://redwoodresearch.org/)
*   [**Lightcone Infrastructure**](https://www.lightconeinfrastructure.com//)

and a few other private partners.

**What we’re offering**
-----------------------

We’re looking to partner with aligned orgs, to make it easy for their staff to drop by when they’re in SF. This works especially well for:

*   People who work elsewhere but occasionally visit SF and want a place to work
*   Those who have offices but want access to a community space on evenings and weekends
*   Anyone looking to exchange ideas with other folks working on AI safety

While in the space, guest program members are full Mox members. They’re welcome to join members-only [events](https://moxsf.com/events) and to access our amenities, including conference rooms, desks with monitors, abundant snacks and drinks, a gym, a nap room, and ~more.

Applications for full Mox membership by guest program members will also be fast-tracked for consideration.

**Why we’re doing this**
------------------------

Mox exists to help people exchange ideas and build community around important work. We’ve already hosted people from organizations like [METR](https://lu.ma/xjcpo8tp?tk=T6Pvtw), [PIBBSS](https://pibbss.ai/fellowship/), [Elicit](https://manifund.substack.com/p/ai-for-epistemics-hackathon) and others for coworking and events; we’d love to expand this to more people working on AI safety and related fields.

**What people say about Mox**
-----------------------------

*I think of people at Mox as a collection of my friends and not-yet-friends. Nobody feels entirely like a stranger. Mox members are (of course) smart, but they’re also so open and approachable. I can walk up to anyone and have an interesting conversation; every single person I’ve met here has welcomed questions about their work and been curious about mine.*  
***— Gavriel Kleinwaks, Mox member***

*Mox was an amazing space for the AI for Epistemics hackathon. I loved the thoughtful layout with central communal gathering areas and quiet work areas around the edges, easily enough space for the 40+ participants.*  
***— Andreas Stuhlmüller, Elicit***  
  
*Mox has the best density of people with the values & capabilities I care about the most. In general, it’s more social & feels better organize
