Bespoke Labs is an applied AI research lab pioneering data and RL environment curation for training and evaluating agents.
Recently, we curated Open Thoughts, one of the best open reasoning datasets used by multiple frontier labs, trained SOTA specialized models such as Bespoke-MiniChart-7B and Bespoke-MiniCheck, and taught agents to do multi-turn tool-calling with reinforcement learning.
Bespoke is uniquely positioned to capture a large market share of data and RL environment curation.
