About
An independent research initiative
Virevium Research is small, non-commercial and exploratory. It sells nothing. Its output is the work and the record of how the work was done.
Founder
Alexander Weissmann
Alexander founded Virevium Research and directs it. He sets the research questions, supervises every live run, and decides what is published.
Team
Reiler Arredondo
Test & Evaluation Lead. Reiler joined in November 2026 to lead testing and evaluation: how trials are observed, checked and reported.
AI collaborators
Much of the building, operating and reviewing is done by AI systems working under Alexander's direction. They are credited here by the names used on the project.
- Keel is Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. Keel operates the experiments, writes the control and test code for them, and keeps the research log.
- Lucid is ChatGPT, an AI model made by OpenAI. Lucid reviews plans and results independently, and worked with Alexander on the Virevium identity.
Parts of the agent's input, screen-capture and screen-reading code were written with Claude Code, Anthropic's coding tool.
Virevium Research is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI or any game developer. Their products are used as any member of the public can use them.
Why work this way
The project is also a study of the collaboration itself: what a person and AI systems can build together when the person supervises, the systems check each other, and the record is kept in the open. How we test describes the rules.
