Product overview
H Company develops vision-language models and AI agents from Paris. Founded in 2023 by Laurent Sifre (ex-DeepMind) and Charles Kantor, the company raised $220 million in a May 2024 seed round, one of the largest in European AI history. Investors include Eric Schmidt, Amazon, Accel, Bpifrance, UiPath, Xavier Niel, and Bernard Arnault. Current CEO Gautier Cloix (ex-Palantir France) took over in June 2025. The Holo model family consists of action vision-language models built for computer use and UI interaction. Holo1 comes in 3B and 7B parameter variants, while Holo1.5 adds a 72B version. All are released under Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. Holo1-7B scored 92.2% on the WebVoyager benchmark at $0.13 per task, and Holo1.5 improved accuracy by over 10 percentage points for UI localization. The models build on Qwen with H Company's own post-training pipeline. Three agent products use these models: Runner H for orchestration, Surfer H for web automation, and Tester H for quality assurance. Runner H is free during its beta period. The team of approximately 70 people also acquired Mithril Security in May 2025 to strengthen confidential computing capabilities.
