Litmus 做什么

Litmus is building the most accurate framework for evaluating and benchmarking human capability, starting with software. AI will compound small differences in human capability into increasingly large differences in what people can accomplish, while making existing static benchmarks obsolete. Software is already there: AI can hill-climb any output-based evaluation, while the ability to direct it is becoming the defining advantage. Litmus applies the same approach we already use for model evals to humans - creating world-like environments, and inspecting trajectory instead of just output. Every knowledge industry will soon face the same problem. We build Litmus to tell you what humans are capable of. We're already helping build frontier technical teams at Mercor, Composio, Neo Scholars, and more.

Evals for humans

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Litmus to evaluate and benchmark human capability, starting with software engineers. AI is quickly making traditional benchmarks outdated - models can optimize for static outputs, but directing them is the real skill. Litmus creates world-like environments for candidates, then inspects their trajectory and decisions instead of grading just the output. Our platform already helps companies like Mercor, Composio, and Neo Scholars build technical teams by showing what engineers are actually capable of.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York City, NY. The company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

NYC is where our team lives, and it's a strong hub for both talent and our recruiting customers. Our early customers are in North America.
