Verses AI (CBOE: VERS) has reached a major milestone in the world of artificial intelligence. It’s Genius platform has successfully outperformed an OpenAI model in a code-breaking challenge. The challenge, referred to as Mastermind, is a reasoning task that requires models to determine a hidden code through logical guesses that are informed by feedback hints.
Key metrics of the test are said to include total cost, success rate, computation time, and number of guesses.

The comparison saw the Genius platform pitted against OpenAI’s o1 Preview, an industry leading reasoning model, in 100 games of Mastermind. The result, was that over the 100 rounds, Genius outperformed OpenAi’s model by being 140 times faster, and 5,000 times cheaper.
“This is just a preview of what’s to come. We’re excited to show how additional reasoning capabilities, available in Genius today and demonstrated with Mastermind, will be further showcased in our upcoming Atari 10k benchmark results,” commented Verses’ Chief Technology Officer, Hari Thiruvengada.
Under the rules of the comparison, each model had ten guesses to crack the code within each game. The model’s were given a hint for each guess, with reasoning required to identify the missing part of the correct answer, requiring a total of six code colors to be correct to crack the code.
“These impressive results highlight a critical gap in today’s AI landscape: the limitations of language-based models like OpenAI’s o1 to handle logical reasoning tasks precisely and reliably. Mastermind code-breaking is an indicative test that showcases the class of logical reasoning and understanding of cause and effect needed for real-world applications like cybersecurity, fraud detection, and financial forecasting—domains where causality, accuracy, and efficiency are non-negotiable. Genius not only excels at these tasks but does so faster, cheaper, and with unparalleled consistency, making it ideal for addressing complex business challenges,” commented Verses AI CEO Gabriel Rene.
Verses AI last traded at $0.48 on the CBOE.
