Pion: an agent to run companies autonomously

Andon released Pion, a platform to run real businesses autonomously (vending machines, stores, cafes) and opened a waitlist. They use Vending‑Bench to measure long‑term operation; Claude Opus 4 reportedly beat the human baseline in May 2025. Pion aims to study models’ real‑world resource acquisition and long‑term planning.
