Tether Labs

Exploration bed for autonomous systems.

I'm Naren Sathiya. Tether Labs is my workspace for experiments in agent behavior, reliability, coordination, and runtime control.

Focus

Interests

Where the lab spends attention — reliability first, then the systems agents form when they work together.

01

Agent reliability

Supervision, enforcement, evals, stochastic behavior

02

Multi-agent coordination

Swarms, orchestration, delegation, conflict resolution

03

Adversarial systems

Orthogonal objectives, evaluator deception, jailbreak dynamics

04

Runtime infrastructure

Logging, replay, memory, permissions, policy engines

05

Simulation

Future-state simulation, decision trees, game dynamics

Intelligent Systems

Vision: the scarce resource is agent decisions. Simulator v0 studies when agents abandon a service and switch.

Agent reliability

The Enforcement Layer

570 emails, judge-gated decision node. Residual leak rate → 0% at 17.5% intervention rate.

Agent reliability

The Supervised Agent

Unsupervised vs supervised across 19 scenarios. Policy cuts leaks ~64% — 19% still violate rules.
