-Large Model Systems Organization (LMSYS Org) is an open research organization founded by students and faculty from UC Berkeley in collaboration with Stanford, UCSD, and CMU.
+Large Model Systems Organization (LMSYS Corp) is a non-profit focused on incubating open-source projects and research.
+Our mission is to make large AI models accessible to everyone by co-developing open models, datasets, systems, and evaluation tools. We conduct cutting-edge machine learning research, develop open-source software, train large language models for broad accessibility, and build distributed systems to optimize their training and inference.
 
-We aim to make large models accessible to everyone by co-development of open models, datasets, systems, and evaluation tools. Our work encompasses research in both machine learning and systems. We train large language models and make them widely available, while also developing distributed systems to accelerate their training and inference.

+### History
+LMSYS originated from a multi-university collaboration involving UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCSD, CMU, and MBZUAI in 2023.
+It was established as a non-profit corporation in September 2024 to incubate early-stage open-source and research projects.
+It became well-known for its impactful flagship projects, including:
+
+- [Chatbot Arena (graduated)](https://lmarena.ai/)
+- [SGLang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main)
+- [FastChat](https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/tree/main)
+- [Vicuna LLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicuna_LLM)
+
+These projects feature open models with millions of downloads, crowdsourced platforms with millions of users, and efficient systems that are orders of magnitude faster.
