The race to provide the most advanced and accurate AI models is in full swing with many of the largest tech companies in the world such as Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL), Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT), Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) and others vying for that top prize, as it will likely come with lucrative returns.

It also isn’t just publicly traded companies in the race, with the maker of ChatGPT, OpenAI the leading company in the space. OpenAI made waves in October when the company raised $6.6 billion from investors, potentially valuing the company at $157 billion and cementing its position as one of the most valuable private companies in the world. 

Today, a much smaller company may have upended many of the AI leaders. VERSES AI Inc. (OTCQB:VRSSF), a cognitive computing company, today revealed performance highlights of its flagship product Genius winning the code-breaking game Mastermind in a side by side comparison with a leading generative AI model, OpenAI’s o1 Preview, which is positioned as an industry-leading reasoning model. Over one hundred test runs, Genius consistently outperformed OpenAI’s o1-preview model one hundred and forty (140) times faster and more than five thousand times (5,000) cheaper.

“Today we’re showcasing Genius’ advanced reasoning performance against state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods that LLMs are based on,” said Hari Thiruvengada, VERSES Chief Technology Officer. “Mastermind was the perfect choice for this test because it requires reasoning through each step logically, predicting the cause-and-effect outcomes of its decisions, and dynamically adapting to crack the code. This exercise demonstrates how Genius outperforms tasks requiring logical and cause-effect reasoning, while exposing the inherent limitations of correlational language-based approaches in today’s leading reasoning models.

“This is just a preview of what’s to come. We’re excited to show how additional reasoning capabilities, available in Genius today and demonstrated with Mastermind, will be further showcased in our upcoming Atari 10k benchmark results,” Thiruvengada continued.

The news sent shares of VRSSF up an impressive 29% to $0.4303 in mid-morning trading.
