What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: hiloop helps teams train agents for tasks where general models are not good enough. Give us a task, your current agent or model, and an evaluation. hiloop runs an autoresearch campaign across data, SFT and other post-training methods, continual learning, prompts, tools, harnesses, and systems, then returns the best verified improvement. It runs hosted or in your cloud. We provide the research system around models: persistent memory, full experiment lineage, compute orchestration, and statistical verification. We’re starting with agent and model training, continual learning, and optimization. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "We turn a measurable target into thousands of directed experiments, and return a better model or algorithm. Post-training, optimization, synthetic RL environments, and signal processing." (source)
