VERSES AI INC Stock Price, News & Analysis

VERSES AI (OTCQB:VRSSF) has announced a partnership with a leading global investment firm as part of their Genius beta program. The collaboration aims to leverage Genius's predictive analysis capabilities to mitigate market risk during volatile periods and enhance investment returns.

The project will focus on macroeconomic market risk analysis, using regime identification and switching models to function as a financial weather forecast. This system is designed to help anticipate shifts between stable and volatile market periods, enabling proactive decision-making and loss minimization.

According to Michael Wadden, VERSES' Chief Commercial Officer, this partnership represents an opportunity to test Genius with larger enterprise customers and explore complex use cases across multiple industries, particularly in risk management.

VERSES AI has announced a partnership with a leading Australian telecommunications company for its Genius beta program, focusing on combating telecom fraud and illegal service usage. The initiative addresses a significant industry challenge, with TransUnion reporting $38.95 Billion lost to telecom fraud in 2023. According to The Global Leaders' Forum, 64% of carriers identify fraudulent traffic as a top priority.

The project will leverage Genius Agents' capabilities to model complex dynamic systems, quantify uncertainty, and make increasingly accurate predictions to combat fraudulent access and hijacked accounts. The company's Chief Commercial Officer, Michael Wadden, highlighted that Genius' ability to reason, predict, and act addresses real-world problems that current LLMs struggle to solve reliably.

VERSES AI (VRSSF) has announced preliminary results of its Genius™ agent's performance in the 'Atari Challenge' AI benchmark test. The company's variant, dubbed 'Atari 10k,' demonstrated superior efficiency compared to leading Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and Transformer algorithms, achieving comparable or better results while using:

- 90% less training data
- 96% faster training time
- 96% smaller model size

The Genius™ agents efficiently learned gameplay mechanics through interaction, without human supervision, by understanding cause-effect dynamics across multiple Atari games. This performance indicates potential applications in real-world scenarios where data may be or incomplete, such as financial analysis, medical applications, risk assessment, autonomous driving, and robotics.

VERSES AI (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) has announced its participation in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 in Davos, Switzerland, from January 20-24th. During the event, the company will release an update on their Atari 10K Challenge, featuring Chief Scientist Karl Friston and senior leadership team members in various meetings, panels, and interviews.

The preliminary results show that VERSES' Active Inference-based models have achieved comparable or superior performance to current state-of-the-art reinforcement learning models while using 90% less data (10k frames) and significantly reduced computational resources. The upcoming update will include results and video demonstrations showing VERSES meeting or exceeding human-level performance across multiple Atari games.

VERSES AI (VRSSF) provided its Q4 corporate update, highlighting significant progress in its Genius™ product development and research achievements. The company released an enhanced version of Genius to beta program participants, featuring improved reasoning, planning capabilities, and user experience. Research milestones include preliminary results from the Atari 10K Challenge, where VERSES' Active Inference-based models achieved comparable or better performance than state-of-the-art systems while using 90% less data, 96% less compute, and resulting in 97% smaller models.

The company also reported successful results in outperforming OpenAI's o1-Preview in the Mastermind code-breaking test, with 100% accuracy versus 71%, 140 times faster performance, and significantly lower costs. Commercial projects, including a smart city partnership with Analog for taxi fleet management in Abu Dhabi, are progressing on schedule, with most beta users expected to convert to commercial engagements in 2025.

VERSES AI (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) has extended its exclusive contract with Professor Karl Friston as Chief Scientist. The renewal includes additional performance-based incentives, recognizing recent breakthroughs in research and development, particularly in the company's flagship product Genius™.

The extension builds on recent successes, including the Mastermind exercise and Atari benchmarks achievements. Professor Friston's theories on Active Inference have been fundamental to Genius's development and the company's cognitive computing initiatives. The collaboration aims to continue advancing the practical application of Active Inference research and developing intelligent ecosystems.

VERSES AI (OTCQB:VRSSF) has announced that its Genius™ AI system has outperformed OpenAI's o1 Preview model in the code-breaking game Mastermind. In a 100-game test, Genius achieved a 100% success rate compared to o1's 71%, completing tasks 140 times faster and 5,260 times more cost-effectively.

Key performance metrics show Genius completed all games in just over 5 minutes at an estimated cost of $0.05 USD, while OpenAI's model took 12.5 hours and cost $263 USD. Genius operated on a standard laptop, while o1 required GPU-based cloud computing. The company positions these results as evidence of Genius's superior logical reasoning capabilities and potential applications in cybersecurity, fraud detection, and financial forecasting.

VERSES AI (OTCQB:VRSSF) has released an updated version of its flagship product Genius™ to beta program participants. The new version introduces enhanced reasoning and planning capabilities, along with comprehensive explainability features. Key improvements include a new model building interface, simplified tutorials, and streamlined deployment processes based on early beta user feedback.

The updated Genius™ platform features a high-performing standard agent, intuitive low-code modeling interface, robust APIs, advanced Bayesian inference capabilities, and integrated user analytics. The release is currently available to existing beta partners, select journalists, and industry experts, with a commercial release planned for new partners in the coming months.

VERSES AI (OTCQB:VRSSF) announces upcoming year-end updates highlighting significant progress in research and product development. The company plans to share Atari 10K challenge benchmark results, demonstrate their Genius™ platform capabilities, and provide commercial updates. VERSES reports positive internal testing results for the Atari challenge and expects to release a Genius software update to beta users in December. The company will present 10 accepted papers at NeurIPS 2024, covering topics like active inference and predictive coding. Additional commercial activity is anticipated from existing partners, including Analog, and new relationships through 2024 and 2025.
