Ampersand launches &Tutor, topping a tutor model eval by training AI to teach a human-like learner
gharik · x · 2026-10-31
AI startup Humans & (humansand) introduced Ampersand Tutor (&Tutor): they first trained a model to learn like a person, then trained &Tutor to teach it. On a widely-used tutor model eval, &Tutor performed best, and it is available through their API.
A user in the quote adds they applied the paper's evaluation-aware prompting technique in practice and observed substantial multi-agent training at work. The thesis: better models of how people learn can help build AI for humans.
