The first loop runs on someone else's computer. The second one runs on yours.
Second Loop is a research & engineering organization on a long project: closing the loop between human and machine intelligence.
Every era of computing moved intelligence somewhere — into institutions, then into clouds. We think the arc now bends back: intelligence that lives with you, works for you, and grows with you — until the loop between a mind and a machine is short enough to disappear.
Our name nods to second-order cybernetics and Hofstadter's strange loop: when a loop grows complex enough to include itself, something new emerges. We build for that turn.
