James McClelland wrote the following in his seminal paper on emergence*:

“The greatest achievements of human cognition may be largely emergent phenomena. It remains a challenge for the future to learn more about how these greatest achievements arise and to emulate them in artificial systems.”

We are inspired by this challenge and at the heart of our technology development efforts is the fundamental quest to build deeply intelligent systems where multiple distributed intelligent modules or agents work with each other and solve tasks cooperatively.

Emergence is a compelling phenomenon observable in systems both natural and engineered.

Systems comprised of simple agents can evolve to exhibit complex patterns and capabilities that transcend those of any individual component. Computing has consistently evolved from monolithic systems to complex distributed architectures demanding orchestration—the personal computing era was launched not by centralized mainframes, but by distributed computing.

We are now entering the Agentic Era where we believe that the orchestration across agents will give rise to the emergence of unprecedented problem-solving capabilities.
