About Deeptune

Deeptune builds training gyms for AI agents: high-fidelity simulation environments where AI learns to do real work through reinforcement learning. We work with the leading AI labs to help them train the next generation of agentic models, and our environments have already contributed to recent breakthroughs in computer use, code generation, and multi-step task completion.

We're a ~20-person team of engineers and operators from Anthropic, Scale AI, Palantir, Hebbia, Glean, and Retool, based in-person in New York City. We recently raised a $43M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from 776, Abstract Ventures, and Inspired Capital.

If you want to work on the hardest problems at the intersection of reinforcement learning and real-world AI deployment, we'd love to hear from you.
