Good Start Labs experiments show that AI training with gameplay can lead to transferable skills: a version trained on a railroad simulation outperformed peers in financial research. Inspired by Twitch streams of models playing Diplomacy—where strategic betrayal decisions differed between OpenAI’s o3 and Claude’s Opus 4—Duffy concluded that fine‑tuning on such strategy games improves broader benchmarks, including customer support and industrial operations. The company, a spin‑off from Every with $3.6 million in venture funding, uses these game-based curricula to teach models strategic thinking and verifiable outcomes.
