A behavioral
research lab for AI

We study where models fail and how to improve them.

Behavioral alignment is the next frontier of AI

Models learned the world by reading about it

Nearly everything they know came from text, and this took them remarkably far.

Agents learn judgment on the job

They have enough knowledge to do the work. What they lack is judgment, which humans learn on the job and rarely write down.

We build worlds for agents to practice

Each one is modeled on a real working environment, where information is hidden, user requests conflict, and not every requirement is stated.

We study what agents do

When an agent misses the point or cuts corners, we figure out why. Then we build the training data to correct it.

Every domain asks for different judgment

Research

Most research doesn’t lead to a breakthrough.

Experiments stall and results come back empty.

Each one rules something out.

Then one breaks through.
