As Random Contrast Learning™ enters a new chapter of growth and adoption, Lumina AI announces the return of co-inventors, Ben and Sam Martin, to lead groundbreaking research and unlock new frontiers in machine learning.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumina AI is proud to announce that Ben Martin and Sam Martin, co-inventors of RCL with Dr. Morten Middelfart, are rejoining the company as AI Research Scientists to support its next phase of growth.

The brothers bring distinct but complementary perspectives to RCL's continued development. Ben, whose academic background is in philosophy and Husserl's phenomenology, brings a foundational lens to RCL, supporting ongoing research into the algorithm's theoretical structure and how the development of machine learning can draw upon models of human consciousness. Sam, whose technical background focuses on applied machine learning and algorithm performance, will focus on driving research on algorithmic scalability, and comparative performance against state-of-the-art machine learning methods.

"In machine learning, simplicity scales," said Dr. Morten Middelfart, Chief Data Scientist of Lumina AI."Ben and Sam understood that from day one, and their return marks a renewed focus on delivering clear, fast, and reliable models that work without unnecessary complexity."

The Martins will contribute to Lumina's expanding research footprint, including initiatives around hybrid model architectures, alternative learning systems, and long-term theoretical implications of machine intelligence. Their work will guide both internal development and external co-innovation partnerships.

"Welcoming Ben and Sam back to Lumina is both personally meaningful and strategically aligned with our mission," said Allan Martin, CEO of Lumina AI. "As two of the three original minds behind RCL, their vision has shaped our algorithm from inception. Their return ensures that the future of RCL will proceed with both conceptual rigor and innovation. "
