Why did a spend management platform start its own AI research lab?
@karimatiyeh describes
@RampLabs as a “collection of crazy ambitious people that don’t like to be told that something is impossible”.
It started about a year ago and has since worked on projects like building its own production-grounded coding benchmark “Ramp SWE-Bench”, putting Claude Code in RollerCoaster Tycoon, and a mechanistic interpretability playground.
The Redpoint team spent the day with Ramp Labs to answer questions like:
▪️ How did Ramp Labs get started?
▪️ How do they decide what research to pursue?
▪️ The long-term vision for Ramp Labs
