From an investment perspective, VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF) is unique in that it offers a rare opportunity to invest directly in this better, faster and cheaper AI innovation.
The Current State of AI
A Rapidly Growing Market with More Powerful Tools On the Way
As stated earlier, the AI market is projected to grow from $207 billion in 2023 to more than $2 trillion by 2030. But most of that growth to date has come from generative AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google Gemini—systems that produce human-like text, images, and code.
In fact, the experts at Gartner predict that 50% of AI models will be domain-specific by 2027 yet today’s general purpose AI models fail to reliably solve domain-specific problems.[ii]
“By 2027, more than 50% of the GenAI models that enterprises use will be specific to either an industry or business function — up from approximately 1% in 2023.”
— Gartner[iii]
The problem is that these models rely on probabilistic predictions from massive datasets, making them computationally expensive and frequently prone to inaccuracies.
They lack contextual understanding, perform poorly in unfamiliar situations, and cannot reason causally. As a result, they are often ill-equipped to serve as autonomous software agents capable of real-time, real-world action.
This has opened the door for a new generation of AI platforms, purpose-built for agent-based reasoning and decision-making.
With its cutting edge Genius platform, VERSES is one of the few public companies working at the forefront of this shift.
Introducing VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE: VERS); (OTCQB: VRSSF)
Founded in 2018 and listed in 2022, VERSES develops AI agent software based on breakthrough neuroscience rather than large language models (LLMs).
The company’s Genius platform is a cutting edge agentic enterprise intelligence platform for rapidly building reliable domain-specific predictions and decisions and is particularly useful for problems that involve volatility, uncertainty, complexity or ambiguity.
The platform’s foundation lies in “active inference,” a neuroscience framework co-developed by Dr. Karl Friston, VERSES’ Chief Scientist.
Inspired by how the human brain minimizes uncertainty to function effectively, Genius provides AI agents with the ability to reason about cause-effect relationships, quantify uncertainty, and act accordingly.

The Rise of Intelligent Agents
A Transformation is Coming to Our Way of Work and Life
The transformation we’re about to see with the coming rise of AI agents has the potential to be unprecedented. And it could trigger significant opportunities for investors.
According to the experts at McKinsey, “Over the past couple of years, the world has marveled at the capabilities and possibilities unleashed by generative AI…But the next stage…the evolution from knowledge-based, gen-AI powered tools to gen-AI-enabled “agents”…is likely to be more transformative.”[v]
This evolution represents a major shift from static applications to adaptive digital agents. Unlike traditional apps, agents will not only follow instructions but anticipate needs, collaborate across platforms, and adjust to evolving data in real time.
However, to power such agents reliably, most current AI models fall short. They lack many of the essential capabilities needed to create agents that can operate autonomously and intelligently.
Most agents in use today are powered by large language models (LLMs) and that means they are limited.
LLMs can be a “jack of all trades, but master of none.” They are pre-trained general knowledge models that generate content based on correlations in lots of past data.
In other words, LLMs are useful, but sometimes good enough isn’t good enough.
And that’s where VERSES’ Genius enters the picture.
VERSES’ Genius Platform Has Arrived
Helping Deliver More Reliable Predictions and Smarter Decisions for Businesses
VERSES’ Genius is one of the first platforms engineered from the ground up to overcome the shortcomings of large language models, including:
The Genius platform includes a suite of tools that allows developers to design, train, and deploy intelligent agents across real-world use cases. Key attributes include:
During the private, beta phase testing of Genius, VERSES was able to validate the platform’s applicability across diverse use cases.
This testing included applications in areas such as:
These real-world applications have been instrumental in helping the company refine Genius, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential for this powerful suite of tools.
Mastermind Test Confirms the Power of Genius Platform
Genius Agent Achieves 100% Accuracy Hundreds of Times Faster and Cheaper than Latest LLM
Just recently, VERSES’ AI-powered software soundly defeated the software of both $260 billion OpenAI as well as the Chinese DeepSeek software in a head-to-head challenge.
In this latest demonstration, VERSES demonstrates Genius, winning the code-breaking game Mastermind in a side-by-side comparison with China’s leading AI model, DeepSeek’s R1, which has been positioned as a disruptive, more cost-efficient large language model (LLM).
Genius significantly outperformed DeepSeek’s R1 model while performing two hundred and forty-five (245) times faster and more than seven hundred and seventy-nine (779) times cheaper.
In the challenge, VERSES compared the DeepSeek-R1 model to Genius. Each model attempted to crack the Mastermind code on 100 games within up to ten guesses. Each model was given a hint for each guess and must reason about the missing part of the correct answer, requiring all six code colors to be correct to crack the code.
Genius’ ability to perform multi-step reasoning and dynamically adjust to feedback is crucial for enabling agents that are not only more efficient but, more importantly, accurate and reliable enough to operate in dynamic real-world scenarios
This latest Mastermind test is the signal that the domain-specific models — uniquely enabled by Genius — are the missing links needed to make AI agents truly reliable.
This “last mile” challenge of AI – accuracy – could be the key to unlocking adoption across the Fortune 500 market and beyond.
VERSES Digital Brain Beats Google’s Top AI At “Gameworld 10k” Atari Challenge
On June 2, 2025 VERSES announced that their new digital brain architecture, codenamed AXIOM (Active eXpanding Inference with Object-centric Models) and based on Active Inference, has demonstrated superior performance over Google DeepMind’s DreamerV3, a leading model recognized for its generalization capabilities in game environments.
AXIOM outperformed DreamerV3 in the “Gameworld 10K” benchmark—an advanced successor to the Atari 100K Challenge that pits AI agents in a head-to-head decathlon across ten diverse, arcade-style environments to measure how well they can generalize across domains with real-world-like conditions given minimal data.
Across the ten games in Gameworld 10k which test a model’s ability to perceive, catch, jump, avoid, etc., VERSES AXIOM exhibited superior gameplay capabilities while demonstrating significant efficiency gains and speed, all at a fraction of the size of Google’s DreamerV3 without the use of neural networks, backpropagation and gradient descent used in almost all other AI’s today.
