Olam Labs on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: 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. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Olam Labs measures social intelligence in AI models for safety, agent performance, and real-world use, through behavioral evaluations in multi-agent simulations where models cooperate, deceive, and negotiate." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Om Buddhdev, Founder/CEO: 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. (source)
  • shreshth sharma, Founder/CTO: currently building simulated envs to create better evals @ olam labs, previously: was doing a cs and business double degree at uwaterloo (dropped out for yc) building reinforcement learning systems and doing data science @ RBC i was briefly top 50 on fifa mobile (source)
