“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 and, you know, it made some really simple examples. And one of the examples is actually wrong, but we didn't change it.”

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…”
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…”
AI is replacing human engineers for dataset understanding and failure-mode detection
“Historically in machine learning, you always, you know, it's like the rule was you have to know your data set really well. But now we're kind of outsourcing that to the AI itself, where the AI is the, it's the AI's job to understand the dataset and figure out …”
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…”
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.”
