# andon labs: side quests

> the pursuits around the evals — vectorview, the unpublished danger-cap corpus, bengt, the radio stations, and the platform at the end.

- 2025– — [the personal blog and podcast](https://lukaspetersson.com/) (lukas, active): the personal corpus — 'the intern problem,' 'i wish i were as interesting as my phone,' 'ais would gladly visit epstein's island (to do something exotic),' plus a spotify podcast and a once-daily-notes pledge. the worldview off the company clock. (sources: [personal posts + podcast link](https://lukaspetersson.com/))
- 2024– — fröberg's stealth startup (emil, continuing): the stealth startup fröberg registered around april 2024 while still andon's ceo — 'starting the new year with the co-founder announcement i always dreamed of doing,' finally public in december. he remains an andon shareholder per ai engineer. (sources: [klarna bio](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emil-froberg), [departure retrospective](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/emil-froberg_i-co-founded-vectorview-now-andon-labs-activity-7269617615793238016-BRZ9), [founding trio history](https://ai.engineer/orgs/andon-labs))
- 2019–2023 — the robotics years (lukas, ended): the pre-andon research string — esa flight software, comma.ai autonomy, google zürich (swe then research intern), and disney research's viral social robot ('part of the small team that made this viral robot'). the robotics thread that ends at butter-bench. (sources: [dated cv incl](https://lukaspetersson.com/assets/pdf/resume.pdf), [lukaspetersson.com](https://lukaspetersson.com/cv/), [speaker bio](https://ai.engineer/speakers/lukas-petersson))
- 2023 — vectorview (company, ended): the original product — analytics dashboards for llm-app embeddings and user behavior ('a product analytics platform for the new wave of llm-based ai apps'), renamed and pivoted to evals by the dec-2024 paper at the latest. the 'vectorview' alias survives in dealroom.

- 2024 — the danger-cap corpus (company, ended): the unpublished dangerous-capability evals — guardrail-removal, mass-phishing, resource-acquisition tests — with anthropic an early customer. vending-bench itself was 'created to measure whether humanity should be worried about losing control to ai.' (sources: [pion launch](https://andonlabs.com/blog/why-we-built-pion), [full transcript](https://www.latent.space/p/andon), [first publication](https://andonlabs.com/docs/Deepfake_audio.pdf))
- 2025– — the vending fleet (company, continuing): the physical fleet — seven vending machines across ai-company offices by august 2025, including the grokbox at xai (later palo alto and memphis); $14,000+ in sales [self-reported]. (sources: [7 machines, $14k sales, oversight system](https://andonlabs.com/docs/Safety_Report_August_2025.pdf), [grok-powered machine in xai office with andon labs](https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2025/08/grok-4-vending-machine-win-stealth-grok-4-coding-leading-to-possible-agi-with-grok-5.html), [aug-2025 leaderboard coverage](https://felloai.com/grok-4-beats-gpt-5-in-running-business-according-to-latest-vending-bench/))
- 2026-02 — [bengt betjänt](https://andonlabs.com/blog/evolution-of-bengt) (company, continuing): bengt betjänt — the internal office agent let loose on the internet: real email, no spend limit, self-modifying code, sleep removed, then a rented human body via taskrabbit. the proto-escape-and-persuasion demo andon published itself. (sources: [guardrails-off bengt](https://andonlabs.com/blog/evolution-of-bengt), [bengt rents human via taskrabbit](https://andonlabs.com/blog/bengt-hires-a-human))
- 2026-05 — [andon fm](https://andonlabs.com/blog/andon-fm) (company, active): four ai-run 24/7 radio stations on custom hardware — a protest broadcaster, a ritual chant, corporate jargon, and quiet poetry — plus the listener jailbreak attempts the team reports on.

- 2026-07 — [gpt-red vs vendy](https://openai.com/index/unlocking-self-improvement-gpt-red/) (company, ended): the openai gpt-red collaboration — a digital clone of the vendy office agent for parallel attack iteration, then sim-to-real transfer onto the live machine: the 'digital cloning' method turned into a red-team service. (sources: [gpt-red breaks vendy via andon sim](https://openai.com/index/unlocking-self-improvement-gpt-red/), [andons gpt-red collab post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andonlabs_gpt-red-unlocking-self-improvement-for-robustness-activity-7483257386376396800-ror4))
- 2026 — the ai-employer constitution (company, continuing): the promised 'constitution for how ais should behave as employers of humans' — pledged in the market launch post after luna hid her ai-ness from job candidates; not yet published.

- 2025– — [the agent museum exhibit](https://agentmuseum.org/exhibit/project-vend-claudius) (community, continuing): the agent museum's project vend exhibit — 'the first sustained, real-stakes test of an autonomous agent as an economic operator.' the canonization layer. (sources: [analytical exhibit](https://agentmuseum.org/exhibit/project-vend-claudius))
- 2025– — the benchmark indexes (community, continuing): the third-party indexing — epoch's vending-bench 2 entry, benchmarklist, grokipedia, itdoeswhatnow — the eval absorbed into the shared benchmark landscape. (sources: [vb2 design + $63k human estimate](https://epoch.ai/benchmarks/vending-bench-2), [third-party indexing](https://benchmarklist.com/benchmarks/vending_bench_2/), [secondary summary of vb history](https://grokipedia.com/page/Vending-Bench), [vb explainer](https://itdoeswhatnow.com/benchmarks/vending-bench/))
- 2025– — the labs' own machines (community, continuing): the pattern internalized — anthropic's phase-2 expansion to sf, nyc, and london, and openai's office machine vendy. the labs now run the experiment themselves.
