Its AI meta-system enhances existing LLMs rather than building new models from scratch. Poetiq, a small AI startup with just six people, most of them ex-Google DeepMind scientists, just pulled in a whopping $45.8 million in seed funding. A New Approach to AI ReasoningPoetiq differs from most AI startups because instead of building their own models, they build AI meta-systems, which are layers above other existing models. These meta-systems enhance existing models, such as OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Meta’s Llama. This remarkable increase proves that metasystem models hold an expansive frontier of potential to elevate performance without the construction of individual models from the ground up.
