We have got exciting (and unconventional) stuff cooking and we are hiring for a strong research engineer on the GDM Game Theory team in London.
Consider apply if you are interested in the intersection of game theory, multiagent systems and LLMs!

The latest BBC Science Focus magazine highlights the biggest science and math breakthroughs of the past 25 years. Sir David Spiegelhalter named the solution to the einstein problem — solved with help from our own Craig Kaplan — as one of the top breakthroughs.
Congrats, Craig and colleagues!

Super happy to reveal our new paper! 🎉🙌♟️
We trained a model to play four games, and the performance in each increases by "external search" (MCTS using a learned world model) and "internal search" where the model outputs the whole plan on its own!
