Sup AI uses a confidence-weighted ensemble of multiple AI models to answer hard questions. Each model rates its own confidence, and the system aggregates responses weighted by that confidence. Achieved 52.15% on Humanity's Last Exam benchmark, outperforming individual models.
Reviewer scorecard
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“No API, no self-hosting option, and the ensemble approach means your per-query cost is 3-5x a single model call. The benchmark numbers are compelling but I cannot integrate this into a product. Ship an API and I will reconsider.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“The benchmark result is legitimately impressive and the methodology is transparent. My concern is latency — querying multiple models and aggregating adds significant time. For research and high-stakes questions it is worth the wait. For everyday chat it is overkill.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
“Confidence-weighted ensembling is the quiet breakthrough everyone is sleeping on. Individual models plateau — but smart aggregation keeps pushing the frontier. Sup AI scoring 52% on Humanity's Last Exam when no single model breaks 40% proves the thesis.”
