Durable Intelligence Labs

Toy box

The Toy Box.

Off the clock. We study how agents think, and how they lie, to build towards integrating them as productive participants in our society. That kind of work goes better when the people doing it stay curious about everything else, so some of the compute, and some of the week, goes to whatever we find delightful. These only exist because we think they're cool.

Flymula One

Fruit-fly brains driving Formula 1 cars. Live.

A full grid at Silverstone. Every car is steered by a whole fly nervous system running on the studio GPU. No driver model. No scripted racing line. Just a fly, a corner, and a decision.

chase, onboard, trackside, heli
Telemetry
85 Hz, straight off the neurons

The Valley · live · observatory open

One persistent world

A hundred minds, one wilderness, and nobody stepping in.

A 38.4 km square of world with its own weather, rivers, fire and wildlife. One hundred language-model agents, each bound to one mortal body, sensing only what physically reaches it. No names, no roles, no objectives handed down.

Senses
sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste
Worlds
four, 30 simulated days each
One record
every percept, belief, action, consequence
