A simple beginning
Anantam Labs is an independent, experimental research lab founded by Sathvik A R and Sankalp H S. It is a place where we explore ideas and experiment with AI and beyond. This short film marks the start.
Why “Anantam”
The name comes from the Sanskrit अनन्तम्, “without end”. Our tagline, Boundless Possibilities, says the same thing in English. It is a reminder to keep our questions open, even when our first answers are small.
An experimental lab
Anantam Labs is a small lab with a simple way of working. We begin with one question and build only what we need to answer it. We test each result before we share it, and we publish what we can show, along with what is still unfinished. We do this in the open, so anyone can follow the work as it grows. We are not a registered company yet, and we offer no product or hosted service.
The first experiment: EMBERBench
Our first contribution is EMBERBench, a benchmark for how decision models guide people through simulated fire evacuations. At each step, a model observes the scene and decides how people move as the fire spreads, routes close and queues form. Recorded runs are replayed and checked before safety and execution quality are scored.
EMBERBench is now live: read the release post. Its results are public-development evidence from a simulation, not emergency guidance.
What comes next
This is just the beginning. We will write here when there is new work to share. Follow the lab to see what we try next, or write to us.
