Crafting simulations for frontier lab model training
We push the complexity of simulated environments in order to provide labs with better model training and evaluations for their capability and safety needs.
We also run olamarena.com where humans come play multi-agent social games against models and inform our public evaluations on human <> agent interaction.

Founders
Om Buddhdev — Founder/CEO
Building simulated worlds for frontier labs to train capable and safe models.
I love learning, tech, competing, and building cool things. I am optimistically AGI pilled and believe most people (even in SF) have not yet internalized what will change over the next 10Y.
Previously a Staff Engineer @ latitude.io, one of the best Valorant players in the world, math research cited by Terence Tao, TikTok creator /w 190k followers, Roblox game dev, and some other things.
