Engineered intelligence

Outthink Human Intelligence.

Now with VEOX you can invent algorithms that otherwise humans can't — continuously engineering better intelligence from your data.

VEOX is a deep-tech company. We build machines that search for algorithms instead of running the ones people wrote — and jAIn is the first one we have pointed at a problem.

What is VEOX

One engine. Pointed at one problem.

VEOX builds engineered intelligence: systems that search for algorithms rather than execute the ones a person writes. RecurEvolv is the synthesis engine underneath them, and it is general — what changes from one application to the next is the space it searches and what it hands back.

Today we have pointed it at one thing, on purpose. jAIn searches for predictive models over your data: you give it a table and the column you want predicted, and it proposes, scores and discards candidates until it finds one that beats what you already shipped. It hands back runnable code you own — usually more accurate than your incumbent, and cheaper to serve on every request.

How it works · jAIn

One table in. One model out.

Say you run churn for a telco. Your team built a gradient-boosted tree, tuned it over three weeks, and shipped it the day the quarter closed. It has sat at that score ever since.

jAIn takes the same table. It proposes candidate pipelines across preprocessing, model family, hyperparameters and ensembling as one joint search — and scores each candidate twice: held-out accuracy under your metric, and what it costs to serve. Wide ensembles that win on accuracy alone get distilled down or dropped.

What comes back is a model, not an API. Plain code and weights, with the full log of what it tried and rejected.

The category

Engineered intelligence.

There's a name for what happens when you stop hand-building models and start searching for them. We've been calling it engineered intelligence: a system that proposes candidate algorithms, scores them against your data, keeps what wins, and doesn't get tired.

The distinction that matters is where the intelligence sits. In every previous generation of tooling, a person decided what to try and the machine executed it faster. Here, the machine decides what to try. A person sets the objective and the budget.

Engineered intelligence is a young category and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What we can do is publish the record, including the runs we lose, and let you check it. The full definition states the mechanism, and the methodology states how the record will be measured — published before the results exist.

Frequently confused with
What actually happens
AutoML — fits the model families you named, faster
Searches structures nobody named, including ones that don't have a name yet
Fine-tuning — adapts a fixed architecture to your data
The architecture is the thing being searched
A dashboard — shows you what already happened
Returns runnable code you own and deploy
An agent — calls tools on your behalf
Produces artefacts that outlive the session

The record

There isn't one yet, and we won't invent one.

jAIn doesn't yet score itself against the model you already have, and doesn't write a result you could audit, so there is no run log to publish and nothing here we would stand behind. The research brief under Resources is a study and reads as one; it is not a record of what the product does on your data. That record arrives with the Research Preview, as receipts rather than as four big numbers.

Reproducible
An identifier that re-runs the same search on the same data and lands on the same model
Against your model
The incumbent it was scored against, named — not a public leaderboard entry standing in for one
Protocol first
Metric, split and holdout fixed and written down before the search starts, not chosen after it
Wins and losses
Every scored run in one list, including the ones where the hand-built model held
no results published yet Where jAIn loses today →

Who's building this

Small on purpose.

VEOX was founded by Jepson Taylor — ex-quant, ex-HireVue, holder of 14 AI patents. He sold his deep-learning company Zeff.ai to DataRobot, then held C-level roles at DataRobot and Dataiku. He has watched two generations of AutoML get sold and knows exactly what this isn't.

The engineers behind him came from Intel, Micron, Cisco, VMware and Adobe. We work with a deliberately small number of design partners at a time, and we're selective about fit — if your problem is one the search won't help with, we'd rather say so on the first call.
