What hiloop does
hiloop helps teams train agents for tasks where general models are not good enough. Give us a task, your current agent or model, and an evaluation. hiloop runs an autoresearch campaign across data, SFT and other post-training methods, continual learning, prompts, tools, harnesses, and systems, then returns the best verified improvement. It runs hosted or in your cloud. We provide the research system around models: persistent memory, full experiment lineage, compute orchestration, and statistical verification. We’re starting with agent and model training, continual learning, and optimization. Reach out to us for early access at.

hiloop
Autoresearch as a service for model training.
hiloop lets teams hand us their hard, measurable ML problems - usually tasks where general models fall short. Teams give us their task, current agent or model, and an evaluation. We run an autoresearch campaign: search across additional data, SFT, continual learning, prompts, tools, harnesses, and systems. Our system orchestrates compute, persists experiment lineage, and delivers back the best statistically verified improvement. We run hosted or in the customer's cloud.
San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will be based in San Francisco after YC.
