The Keck Interferometer utilizes the two 10-meter Keck telescopes as a direct detection interferometer in the infrared. The 85-meter baseline produces a fringe spacing of 5 milliarcseconds at 2 microns, or 0.7 AU for sources in the Taurus star forming region. The first observations with the Keck Interferometer of T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be sources are presented and the implications for circumstellar disk models are discussed.
