Happy to finally make this announcement of our Seed and Series A raises. It's been a great journey since I left Google DeepMind 2.5 years ago with a goal to democratize post-training! Post-training gets easier if you have access to good data and now, RL environments. That's why we have poured our energy into doing data research. And we will continue to make Bespoke into one of the world's best data research labs. Thank you everyone for your support and thanks to the incredible Bespoke team that has done amazing work so far! PS1: Yes, we got busy with building after our Seed (MiniCheck, Curator, OpenThoughts, Terminal Bench..) so we didn't get a chance to announce the Seed raise! PS2: I will be at ICML starting Wed!

We’re thrilled to announce a $40M investment that will fuel our mission to make AI agents reliable. For the past two years, we've been heads-down doing world-class data curation research and shipping best-in-class reinforcement learning environments for training and optimizing AI agents. This funding lets us go a lot deeper on both. Thank you to our investors @Wing_VC, @MayfieldFund, @8vc, @thehousefund and our angels such as Jeff Dean, Dheeraj Pandey, Tristan Handy, and several others from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta. And thanks to the frontier labs and enterprises we work with every day, for sharing our vision for a future where agents can run autonomously for weeks and months at a time. (more below)

For agentic coding, one can say: - Unless you need Terra Ultra perf, it's always better to use a Luna model with higher effort setting (same or better performance but cheaper). - Forget everything below Sol High, use Luna with higher effort settings here - Forget Sol Extra High, use Terra Ultra here - The extra cost of Sol Ultra is probably not worth it over Max

In Gangnam, and i have seen more exotic cars in three days than my entire lifetime in Bay area (let's stop at "many years"). Several maybachs, rolls royce, lambo. There is this poor Bentley parked on the side of the street for many days..

@AlexGDimakis semi-related: i've found myself frequently referencing OpenThoughts lately as an explanation for why MOPD + same-family teacher OPD work much better than OPSD "QwQ is a better teacher than R1 for Qwen2.5-7B" is a very compelling result!

Vivek Gopalan@vvkgopalan·
I (Temu Dwarkesh) got to sit down with @madiator & @AlexGDimakis and talk about AI in CS education, RL scaling, how people will program capabilities into agents in the future, and interesting historical results from the first wave of reasoning models. Big day for @bespokelabsai
8VC@8vc

Much of the AI narrative revolves around architecture research, compute scaling & buying human data. Very few understand the deep technical discipline of "data research," which has driven many of the gains in model capabilities. @vvkgopalan sits down with @madiator & @AlexGDimakis, founders of @bespokelabsai, a company defining the category of data research. (00:00) Introducing Mahesh and Alex (03:40) Teaching a 1000 person ML class at Berkeley / changes in CS education in the age of AI (06:10) Open source data for frontier model training, OpenThoughts & training models for data curation (12:00) Why multiple-answer yields more performant models, benefits of keeping unverifiable examples in datasets (17:20) RL scaling laws / introduction to Bespoke (19:45) "Environment-driven Development" (28:35) New capabilities in frontier models & coding agents (34:30) Market outlook for RL environments (42:30) Exciting recent research and how we arrived at today's state of RL (50:00) Bespoke's Series A
