}additional metadata
Not every entry on Solved is an operating agent. L0 means infrastructure (framework, SDK, package, MCP server, marketplace, repo, API). L1–L5 describe increasing autonomy. About these classes →
Arcten develops autonomous research and coding agents capable of long-horizon tasks. Backed by Y Combinator and with roots in AI research, they focus on building advanced agents for complex problem-solving.
This company builds advanced AI agents for research and coding.
- Define a complex research or coding problem.
- Deploy an Arcten autonomous agent.
- Agent performs long-horizon research and coding.
- Review agent's findings and code.
Researchers and developers tackling complex, long-term autonomous projects.
- Develop long-horizon autonomous research agents
- Build autonomous coding agents for complex tasks
- Leverage AI for extended research projects
- Automate complex coding tasks with autonomous agents
example interaction
A user would task an Arcten agent with a complex, multi-stage research or coding project, and the agent would autonomously work towards a solution over an extended period.
