    A few days ago, we soft-launched Soros [0], our agentic intelligence for geopolitical simulation, on HN. [1]

    In this post, we walk through everything: how we designed it, the engineering stack, how it works, what we perceive as flaws. Everything.

    This is really a chance to look at how a production-grade agentic system works when designed for unconventional use cases.

    Note that this is a dense, super-long article (clocking in at ~14,400 words). We suggest you take your time reading it :)

    We look forward to your questions and comments!

    - Anshuman & Karén, co-founders of Lookback Labs (creators of Soros) [2]

    Is the name choice intentional?

      Sort of! We came up with a backronym just in case: Scenario Oriented Reasoning and Outcome Simulations.

        It's a poor choice imo, biases, tropes, and the like

        Murdoch would be as well, but on the other end of the spectrum
