RL environments for software engineering

Full description — before

We help AI teams accelerate the creation of evals and post-training data by creating bespoke data annotation pipelines in seconds and staffing them with the right domain experts. AGI requires expert-created data and evals across domains, quickly and at volumes. Creating this data reliably is a complex operational challenge. We solve this end-to-end. Ankith was previously an engineer at Scale AI where he built the infrastructure for expert sourcing/screening and Gen AI data labeling operations, and Ananth previously founded a software firm with seven-figure revenue and Fortune 500 customers.
