Feb 27, 2026 bullish
Insight
Fischer predicts Poetiq and base model S-curves will compound toward AGI
“Effectively you could say, like, each model or each set of models that we're working with will have their own S-curve. The poetic system, the poetic meta system itself, is also going to have its own S-curve. And so as the poetic meta system gets better, and as…”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Poetiq achieves faster, cheaper recursive self-improvement than existing methods
“The core insight that we had is that we could do recursive self-improvement far faster and cheaper than all of the other ways that people had been proposing to do this.”

Poetiq's agentic harness outperforms new base models without code changes
“With poetic what we end up giving you is a you know, people are calling these things harnesses now, but you know, or agentic system or whatever you want to call it, that sits on top of one or more language models, and it just performs better than them. And whe…”

Disclosure
Poetiq's meta-system generates reasoning systems for problems GPT-5 cannot reliably solve
“And so the core technology that we've developed at Poetic is recursive self-improvement. So we have a recursively self-improving system, which we call the Poetic meta system. The output of that system is systems that solve hard problems where a hard problem is…”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Poetiq's Humanity's Last Exam optimization run cost less than $100,000
“We didn't publish any cost for this, but I can say that the optimization costs us less than a hundred K, yeah.”

Assertion Supported
Poetiq scored 55% on Humanity's Last Exam, outperforming Claude Opus 4.6
“AI hasn't passed it yet, but we got to 55%, which is almost two percentage points higher than the previous state of the art. Which came out just last week from Anthropic with Claude Opus 4.6. They got 53.1%, and we got 55% on it.”

Feb 27, 2026 bullish
Assertion Supported
Poetiq outperformed Gemini 3 Deep Think on ARC-AGI-2 at half the cost
“Yeah, so the interesting thing is that we were half the cost of Gemini Three Deep Think because we were building on top of Gemini Three Pro, which is a much cheaper model. But we still got in the end, a nine percentage point improvement on the official verific…”

Feb 27, 2026 neutral
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Poetiq's autonomous prompt generation system produced unexpected, non-human prompt structures
“It was pretty interesting to look at the prompt outputs in particular, I'd say, for ArcGi in that you know, I think you can read those and say, well, that's not what a human would have written. Pretty clearly. And it's, you know, there's some unexpected stuff …”
