Building a new class of AI technology that understands knowledge structurally to eliminate hallucinations and improve efficiency.

• Hallucination-free AI: Uses a proprietary model based on cognitive building blocks instead of statistical prediction.
• Energy-efficient engine: Requires a fraction of the power and cost of traditional AI models.
• Experienced team: Leadership includes pioneers with hundreds of millions in prior tech exits.
• Product-ready roadmap: Companion Sapiens and enterprise use cases in development.
• Strategic vision: Positioned to transform human-machine interaction with real-world understanding.

New Sapience is raising funds to scale its proprietary AI platform, designed to eliminate one of the most persistent problems in artificial intelligence: hallucinations. Unlike traditional generative models, New Sapience’s technology is built on a foundation of “cognitive atoms,” a novel method of representing knowledge that enables true understanding, reasoning, and common sense. The company aims to commercialize its AI engine across industries requiring high-reliability machine reasoning, offering a solution that is not only more accurate but also dramatically more energy efficient and cost-effective. Funds from this raise will support continued development, market deployment, and scaling efforts for a new category of AI technology.

By focusing on knowledge as a fundamental construct rather than probability-driven prediction, New Sapience has developed a model that requires minimal hardware and virtually no energy to operate at scale. This makes it ideal for enterprise and embedded AI applications where consistency, interpretability, and low power consumption are essential. The company is positioning itself as a transformational player in the AI space, with a platform that challenges the norms of large language models. With backing from experts who helped define early computing milestones, and with strategic plans for subscription-based AI products, New Sapience is building infrastructure that could reshape how humans and machines interact.

Company Info

New Sapience develops AI technology based on structured knowledge models to eliminate hallucinations and improve reasoning.

New Sapience is an artificial intelligence company focused on developing technology that mimics human comprehension by embedding a structured model of knowledge into software. Its core platform applies principles of “cognitive chemistry” and “digital DNA” to organize and manipulate information in a way that avoids hallucinations, a common issue in generative AI. The company’s approach is designed to produce AI systems that can reason, understand context, and operate with minimal hardware requirements, providing more accurate and energy-efficient alternatives to large-scale language models.

By using a proprietary world model to represent real-world knowledge, New Sapience creates AI agents capable of interacting with users based on a structured understanding rather than probabilistic prediction. The company’s vision includes integrating these agents across consumer and enterprise applications, with the goal of transforming human-machine interaction. Its technology is designed to scale across industries without the need for massive datasets or computational resources.
