Foundry (YC F24) Is Hiring – Come Build a World Model for the Web

### Stop building GPT wrappers. Build a world model instead. --- *Why Foundry exists:* Every SaaS app, enterprise tool, and internal workflow without an API will soon be automated by browser agents—not traditional API integrations. Tens of trillions of dollars in global labor depend on browser-based workflows that no AI system can reliably automate today. 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: - *Realistic web simulation*: capable of modeling complex tasks, ambiguous UIs, and non-deterministic interactions. - *Robust RL training loops*: that learn effectively from sparse rewards and authentic user behavior. - *Rigorous evaluation benchmarks*: tied to real-world outcomes and genuine business impact. No one's built it yet. We're going first. We’re building exactly this—core infrastru ... Read full article.
