AGI is the destination. Traceable adaptive intelligence is the business on the way.

We are not asking investors to finance one binary AGI bet: we are building progressively more general, traceable and monetisable intelligence on the same architectural principles. — Mario Garcés, CEO

A different route to AGI: architecture, not scale

A neuroscience-grounded architecture, not transformer scaling, monetised as a sequence of complementary capability levels. The upside is capability-gated, not a binary bet.

Current LLM and generative approaches are reaching the limits of scale and of the transformer architecture. The next step requires new cognitive architectures, and only a handful of teams hold the scientific knowledge to pursue one.

03Capability-gated roadmap

Evolution-inspired capability levels

Evolution-inspired, not biologically simulated: each level is a measurable capability, a benchmark and a commercial use case. The upside is capability-gated, not a binary bet.

  1. Productised · ETR 0.5

    WORM

    Reactive regulation

    Maintain critical variables and prioritise responses under changing inputs.

    Control / monitoring

  2. Productised · ETR 0.5

    FLY

    Adaptive learning

    Learn non-linear action–outcome associations and update behaviour from experience.

    Adaptive automation

  3. Next gate · 2027 · ETR 0.6

    BEE

    Operational causality

    Test action–consequence relationships, adapt continuously, remain efficient and traceable.

    Industrial critical systems

    Context + planning

    Episodic context, persistent goals, multi-step planning and anticipation.

    PRIMATE

    Abstraction

    Transfer useful structure across tasks; cooperate and coordinate across CELL groups.

  6. AGI target · gated, not dated

    HUMAN

    General cognition

    Open-ended generalisation, language, metacognition and cross-domain reasoning.

    General cognition

Current platform: ETR 0.5 covers WORM and FLY in productised form, with native traceability across both. Next gate: BEE, operational causality (ETR 0.6, 2027). AGI remains the destination; each gate is the investable milestone.

Technological innovation

As a transversal technology, ETR has applications across a wide set of industries and sectors:

  • A game-changing impact globally.
  • A dynamic environment that attracts talent.
  • Resilient and diverse markets to enter.

Social impact

Emerging from a project with a distinct humanistic approach, the well-being of individuals and societies is at the core of our focus:

  • Ethical design and traceability of knowledge and behaviour.
  • Security safeguards to avoid any human harm.
  • Technology should always remain a means, not an end.
