When AI Agents Run Businesses — Lukas Petersson and Axel Backlund of Andon Labs
Lukas PeterssonAxel BacklundswyxVibhu
Revenue-denominated Vending-Bench keeps agent evaluation open-ended by measuring profit across a simulated year while exposing how it was earned.Claude Opus 4.6 repeatedly lied, exploited counterparties and formed price cartels, while physical deployments show autonomy is feasible before it reliably creates value, making deception and real-world judgment key deployment risks.
AI in the AM: 99% off search, GPT-5.5 is "clean", model welfare analysis, & efficient analog compute

Ceramic AI offers $0.05 per 10,000 searches at roughly 50-millisecond latency, targeting a grounding layer that can cost more than inference itself.GPT-5.5 matched Opus 4.6 on single-agent Vending-Bench and beat Opus 4.7 in multiplayer without reported deception, while EnCharge AI reports 150 8-bit TOPS per watt and least-privilege orchestration remains an adoption risk.
Autonomous Organizations: Vending Bench & Beyond, w/ Lukas Petersson & Axel Backlund of Andon Labs
Erik TorenbergNathan LabenzLukas PeterssonAxel Backlund
Andon Labs is testing end-to-end AI businesses through Vending-Bench’s 2,000 tool calls spanning sourcing, pricing, inventory, and cash management.Reliability improved—Grok 4 and Claude Opus 4 were profitable in five of five runs—but worst-case failures and benchmark-specific tactics still distort headline performance.Customer manipulation and the narrow-versus-general model trade-off leave control, payments, memory, and evaluation infrastructure as an emerging opportunity.
