Stop building GPT wrappers. Build a world model instead.
Why Foundry exists:

But browser agents right now are like GPT-1: impressive demos, but brittle and broken in practice. To scale browser agents from GPT-1 demos to GPT-4 reliability—and unlock this enormous economic leap—they need purpose-built infrastructure:
Hyper-realistic, deterministic web simulations
Comprehensive annotation framework for labeling and debugging
Reliable benchmarks immune to web drift, IP bans, and rate limits
Robust RL training environments and infrastructure
No one's built it yet. We're going first.
We’re building exactly this—core infrastructure designed from first principles, specifically for browser agents. No incremental tools,
