3 Key Points

  1. Sup AI combines multiple AI models in parallel and weights their outputs based on confidence levels measured by entropy in token probability distributions

  2. On Humanity's Last Exam benchmark, Sup AI achieved 52.15% accuracy compared to the best individual model's 44.74%, with statistically significant improvement

  3. Ken (20-year-old Stanford CS student) built the system with his father Scott, an AI Research Scientist at TRI with a UCLA PhD, who contributes research insights

  4. The key insight is that different AI models make unique, uncorrelated errors, so synthesizing their outputs while filtering low-confidence (high-entropy) predictions reduces hallucinations
