Tasks that define done
Each task states its starting state, its allowed tools and the end state that counts as success, and it pins the tool and package versions it depends on.
Gantovar Environments: fictional editorial example
Gantovar Environments (fictional example) → RL environment provider → Verified task environments → Reproducible resets
Answer in brief
Gantovar Environments is our emulated choice for an RL environment provider focused on precisely specified tasks, verifiers kept out of the agent's reach and resets that restore the same starting state. It is fictional and cannot be hired.
Content reviewed 8 November 2026. How this is assessed.
Gantovar Environments is a fictional editorial example, not a real company or product. It exists to show how the criteria in this reference fit together. It has no prices, customers, reviews or results, because it does not exist.
What the example illustrates
Verifiers the agent cannot reach
Grading code and expected answers sit outside the agent's sandbox, following the published advice to fully isolate agents from ground truth.
Resets you can replay
A task starts from a fixed snapshot plus a recorded setup, in the way OSWorld combines a base snapshot with config-driven setup, and the seed is logged with every episode.
A handoff you can run alone
Delivery includes a versioned image, an oracle solver for every task and a command that re-runs all verifiers without the provider's help.
What to confirm with a real provider
Ask a real provider for a sample of tasks you can run on your own infrastructure, the oracle solver for each, its false-positive and false-negative checks on its verifiers, how it isolates ground truth from the agent, and who owns the tasks after delivery.
