Gorilla Technology Group sells AI infrastructure, security intelligence, and network intelligence systems to governments and telecom operators; the Berkeley Gorilla project publishes open-source LLM tools for function calling and API integration.

Gorilla is the name of two unrelated entities that share a common origin in a 2023 research project at UC Berkeley. The academic project, led by Shishir Patil and Tianjun Zhang, produced the Gorilla large language model (LLM) and a suite of open-source tools for connecting LLMs to APIs, including the Gorilla OpenFunctions model, the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard (BFCL), the RAFT fine-tuning method, and the GoEX execution engine. The project's GitHub repository has 12,900 stars and 1,400 forks as of June 2026, and the models are hosted on Hugging Face.

Separately, Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) is a publicly traded company headquartered in London, UK, that provides security intelligence, network intelligence, business intelligence, and IoT technology. In Q3 2025, Gorilla Technology reported record revenue of $26.5 million, up 32% year-over-year, and swung to near breakeven net income of -$0.03 million from a $7.8 million loss in Q3 2024. The company held $110.2 million in unrestricted cash and had total debt of $15.1 million.

Gorilla Technology secured a $1.4 billion AI data centre mandate in Southeast Asia and reported an AI and GPU infrastructure pipeline above $7 billion, with phased implementation beginning in early 2026. The company is led by Chairman and CEO Jay Chandan. There is no evidence that the Berkeley research project has been incorporated into a startup or has raised venture funding; the TechCrunch lists of AI startups that raised $100M+ in 2025 and 2026 do not include any entity named Gorilla.

Strengths and what to watch

Strengths

  • Record Q3 2025 revenue of $26.5 million, up 32% year-over-year, with near breakeven net income and $110.2 million unrestricted cash.
  • Secured a $1.4 billion AI data centre mandate in Southeast Asia with a pipeline above $7 billion, indicating strong demand for sovereign AI infrastructure.
  • The Berkeley BFCL is a widely cited benchmark for LLM function-calling capability, used by Microsoft, Nvidia, and others to evaluate models.

Watch for

  • Gorilla Technology's revenue is highly dependent on large, lumpy government and telecom contracts; the $1.4 billion mandate may take years to fully recognize.
  • The Berkeley Gorilla project is an academic research effort with no disclosed commercialization plan or venture funding; it is not a startup and has no revenue.
  • Gorilla Technology reported a net loss of $7.8 million in Q3 2024 and only reached near breakeven in Q3 2025; profitability is not yet established.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gorilla Technology Group?

Gorilla Technology Group is a publicly traded company headquartered in London that sells AI infrastructure, security intelligence, network intelligence, and IoT systems to governments and telecom operators. It reported record Q3 2025 revenue of $26.5 million and secured a $1.4 billion AI data centre mandate.

What is the Berkeley Gorilla project?

The Berkeley Gorilla project is an academic research effort led by Shishir Patil and Tianjun Zhang at UC Berkeley. It produced the Gorilla LLM and open-source tools for connecting LLMs to APIs, including the Gorilla OpenFunctions model and the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard. It has no commercialization plan.

Are Gorilla Technology and the Berkeley Gorilla project the same company?

No, they are unrelated entities sharing a name from a 2023 UC Berkeley research project. Gorilla Technology Group is a public company with revenue and contracts, while the Berkeley Gorilla project is an academic open-source effort with no venture funding or revenue. They operate independently.

What were Gorilla Technology's Q3 2025 financial results?

Gorilla Technology reported record Q3 2025 revenue of $26.5 million, up 32% year-over-year. It swung to near breakeven net income of -$0.03 million from a $7.8 million loss in Q3 2024. The company held $110.2 million in unrestricted cash with $15.1 million in debt.

What is the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard?

The Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard is a widely cited benchmark from the Berkeley Gorilla project that evaluates LLM function-calling capability. It is used by companies like Microsoft and Nvidia to assess how well models can connect to APIs and execute tasks accurately.

What risks does Gorilla Technology face?

Gorilla Technology's revenue depends on large, lumpy government and telecom contracts, so its $1.4 billion mandate may take years to fully recognize. The company only reached near breakeven in Q3 2025 after a $7.8 million loss the prior year, so profitability is not yet established.
