Larian runs a dedicated machine learning research team based in Guildford, UK, focused on finding ways to apply AI to game development tools and processes. The lab does not create content that appears in games — it builds and evaluates technology for use across the studio's six global offices.

The ML Lab is led by ML Director Gabriel Bosque Chacón and has been hiring since at least late 2022. Active job postings describe the team's mission as identifying opportunities to apply machine learning and computational statistics to improve game development pipelines, engine performance, and asset creation workflows. Engineers in the lab work across animation, combat AI systems, and engine optimization. The lab is also responsible for educating other teams at Larian about emerging AI techniques. Its focus is internal tooling research, not generative content.
