Soros: The anatomy of an agentic geopolitical simulation engine

A few days ago, we soft-launched Soros [0], our agentic intelligence for geopolitical simulation, on HN. [1]

In this post, we walk through everything: how we designed it, the engineering stack, how it works, what we perceive as flaws. Everything.

This is really a chance to look at how a production-grade agentic system works when designed for unconventional use cases.

Note that this is a dense, super-long article (clocking in at ~14,400 words). We suggest you take your time reading it :)

We look forward to your questions and comments!

- Anshuman & Karén, co-founders of Lookback Labs (creators of Soros) [2]

Is the name choice intentional?
muggermuch•1h ago
Sort of! We came up with a backronym just in case: Scenario Oriented Reasoning and Outcome Simulations.
verdverm•1h ago
It's a poor choice imo, biases, tropes, and the like

Murdoch would be as well, but on the other end of the spectrum
