They build realistic RL environments, next-generation data quality systems built from real-world operational traces, and coding datasets that stress models under conditions where failures matter.

date changes, workflow branching, brittle tool calls, and the coding errors that break RL agents but never appear in benchmark reports.

In reality, a model may demonstrate correct reasoning in your evaluation setup, yet still select the wrong parameter or mishandle a code update in a realistic interface.

Turing makes that failure visible and gives teams the signal they need to fix it.

For labs advancing agentic systems, Turing provides the structure required to understand why these failures occur.

I had Demis on the show the other day from DeepMind.

He was like, yeah, I'm not sure if we're seeing scaling laws, but we are definitely seeing slightly diminishing return slash performance as we scale.

So potentially, are we getting to a stage where increased compute is no longer leading to increased performance?

When we look at the bottlenecks around performance and progression today, what are the bottlenecks that really persist most significantly to you?
