We are so excited to have @tensorfi joining @VmaxAI! Maxwill joins us from @Meta, where he was working RL and LLMs for recommendation. Previously, he has also worked @Tesla on the autopilot team and also in Quant finance at Kronos research. He also holds an MS in CS from Georgia Tech. Maxwill simultaneously understands pre-LLM RL fundamentals but also how to scale pipelines for RL training for modern recommendation systems. Maxwill is already levelling up our pipeline for automated environment design, pushing multiple PRs as soon as he joined. Really excited about the velocity of his contributions and excited to share more soon.

Welcome Geoffrey!
Augustine Mavor-Parker@MavorParker

So excited to welcome Geoffrey Bradway as Member of Technical Staff @VmaxAI. Geoffrey is a rare catch. He was an engineer at @GoogleDeepMind, Google for Youtube and also has experience in early stage companies, having been a previous @ycombinator founder and also VP of engineering at @numerai. Fitting the Vmax DNA, he has experience with RL before it was cool (doing RL all the way back in 2014). Outside of work, Geoffrey does some really cool art with robotic drawing machines. Cannot wait to share more about what he is cooking

So excited to have @lorenz_wlf join @VmaxAI as a research fellow this spring! At NeurIPS last year, we caught up with Lorenz, realised how aligned he is with our research vision and invited him to join us shortly after. Lorenz comes from the @FAICDT1 programme at UCL (where I did my PhD also) and is supervised by @mircomusolesi. Previously he worked on differential privacy and personalized recommender systems at Apple and did his undergrad in mathematics and statistics at Imperial College London. Lorenz’s research focuses on RL, RLHF and modular continually learning RL agents. He has contributed to papers in ICLR, TMLR and AI STATS. So excited for him to join us and accelerate our efforts on unsupervised environment design. You can read Lorenz's research in the replies. Much more to come.

New paper! We used Sparse Autoencoder (SAE) embeddings to understand how agent behavior actually changes during post training. We analyzed thousands of rollouts in a Diplomacy environment and uncovered generalized reward hacking, weird roleplay, and the root cause of an unsuccessful training run. All of which our LLM baseline couldn't find.

Honored to join such a talented team! @MavorParker and Matthew are building something special at @VmaxAI 🚀 Thrilled to contribute to this vision and keep the momentum going!
Augustine Mavor-Parker@MavorParker

@VmaxAI is excited to have @creus_roger joining us as a research fellow! Roger is joining us from @Mila_Quebec where he works with @pcastr and @GlenBerseth. Roger Creus Castanyer is a brilliant RL researcher working on exploration, credit assignment, and skill discovery. He is also fresh off of a NeurIPS spotlight and a recently accepted paper to ICLR, you can find more of his research in the comments. Roger is significantly accelerating our research on automated environment design - looking forward to sharing what he is cooking!

@VmaxAI As an initial step in this direction, we have built on top of methods like SWE-smith and BugPilot, adding to the list of repo profiles built by the swe-bench community

RL progress is bottlenecked by infra for training and evaluation. @VmaxAI is excited to be partnering @withmartian, generating environments for the Agentic Research and Evaluation (ARES) framework

ARES uses the Harbor task format ( @alexgshaw ). It comes with SWE-Bench Verified, TerminalBench2, SWESmith, and everything else in the Harbor ecosystem. We're also releasing 1k new JavaScript tasks with @VmaxAI ( @MavorParker @matthewjsargent ) to help the ecosystem grow.

The RL event @VmaxAI and @southpkcommons are organizing has a stacked panel of amazing researchers, whose work I have admired since my PhD, when RL was not as much of a hot topic as it is today. Here's a thread on our panelists 👇

At Vmax, we are automating the construction of RL environments and the post-training of agents. We are hiring members of technical staff and research fellows. Come join us in SF! (link to apply in comments).

RL is the agent-environment loop and we currently do not have enough environments! At @VmaxAI we're building a platform for environment creation.
South Park Commons@southpkcommons

5/ Vmax A lack of simulation environments is bottlenecking superintelligent agents. @matthewjsargent & @mavorparker gave us a peek at Vmax’s platform—where they’re building new environments for reinforcement learning.
