In their words
Multi-agent environments let us evaluate and train models in complex, simulated worlds. We work with researchers on both evaluations and training for character and agentic performance typically difficult to assess for using current popular datasets. Play one of our first releases, Multi-Agent Arena (https://olamlabs.ai/arena), where humans come play social strategy games against multiple AI agents. It's currently top 50 on OpenRouter and has thousands of matches played each day. We use Multi-Agent Arena to build datasets on agentic performance and real-world socialization.
What the record says
I am building the entire stack for multi-agent environments so we can do better AI evaluations and training. I'm a tech enthusiast and optimize for following my curiosity. In the past I've done some fun things before Olam Labs ranging from esports, to consumer, to engineering, to research. I was one of the best Valorant players in the world, a Staff Engineer at AI Dungeon, done math research, and other stuff. You can read more here: https://www.sensho.xyz/

Is this you?
If you're behind Olam Labs: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
