Working with us

Collaboration
and Quality

Intelligence earns its value on three axes: usefulness, usability, and usage. Domain experts specify each task so that models are graded on the work as practitioners recognize it.

We obsess over deploying tasks that are difficult, realistic, reliably verifiable, and hard to hack. Benchmarking and evaluations are designed to establish confidence in these qualities.

Engagements

From discovery
to deployed evaluation.

Contact the research team

Every engagement starts with discovery, defining research objectives together and determining whether off-the-shelf (OTS) or bespoke engagement best fits those objectives.

The Four Pillars of Good Task Design

Difficult

Each task sits at the edge of the target model's ability.

Realistic

Each task reflects work that happens in the real world.

Reliably verifiable

Each task scores consistently across rollouts.

Hard to Hack

Each task is graded to withstand shortcut strategies.
