VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) ('VERSES' or the 'Company'), a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation agentic software systems, announces that a major global investment firm has converted to an enterprise contract with the Company on the basis of the results achieved during its participation in the Company's Genius beta program.
This firm validated Genius beta in early 2025 and based on the initial results, it has signed up for a renewable enterprise license, which provides it with access to unlimited inferences. The contract contains provisions for outcome-based pricing in the future, after an initial period of fixed payments.
Genius, which uses active inference models and techniques that are particularly well-suited to handling complex, layered reasoning, is being explored to be used as an alternative to current AI.
'We are thrilled at the early results of Genius and believe that the migration from the Genius beta program to the Genius commercial Enterprise version is a strong vote of confidence in Genius' potential,' said Michael Wadden, VERSES' Chief Commercial Officer. 'We are excited by the opportunity to unlock significant business value with one of the largest global financial institutions as we begin to scale Genius into the market.'
