We engineer a class of quiver gauge theories with several interesting features by studying D-branes at a simple Calabi-Yau singularity. At weak 't Hooft coupling we argue using field theory techniques that these theories admit both supersymmetric vacua and meta-stable non-supersymmetric vacua, though the arguments indicating the existence of the supersymmetry breaking states are not decisive. At strong 't Hooft coupling we find simple candidate gravity dual descriptions for both sets of vacua.

Direct mediation of metastable supersymmetry breaking (2006, background): “This phenomenon has been well-established for moduli spaces of supersymmetric vacua, and it has just begun to be explored for supersymmetry breaking vacua [44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49].”
On the existence of meta-stable vacua in Klebanov-Strassler (2009, methodology): “(2)Worldsheet evidence in support of this MQCD analysis was given in [8] and furthermore, both the MQCD dual of the configuration of [5] (analyzed in [9]) as well as other duals of KPV-like configurations [10], suffer from the same problems in the UV, at least in certain regime of parameters.”
de Sitter string vacua from dilaton-dependent non-perturbative effects (2012, background): “e of the warp factor. The term (4.1) can arise from a non-perturbatively generated superpotential of a gauge theory; one thus might ask whether there is a relation to a dual theory along the lines of [11]. On the other hand there seem to be some key diﬀerences between our system and a warped throat ”
