Introducing NEO: The first Autonomous Machine Learning Engineer. NEO is a multi-agent system that automates the entire ML workflow, saving engineers thousands of hours of grunt work. Our recent advancements in multi-step reasoning, iterative experimentation and smart context orchestration have enabled NEO to excel at solving complex Machine Learning problems on its own from data cleaning, preprocessing to ML model exploration, training and hyper parameter optimization.
Benchmarks: NEO was tested against 50 Kaggle competitions and scored a medal in 26% of them, far superior than the previous state of the art performance of 16.9% by Open AI’s O1 with AIDE scaffolding on the MLE bench With these capabilities, NEO aims to help every ML engineer become superhuman and focus on real innovation instead of the existing grunt work

CV Content: Superpower
Superpower is building the world’s first all-in-one digital clinic. Their platform combines whole-body testing, concierge clinicians paired with AI, and an ecosystem of treatments to enable founders to consistently perform their best, sustainably.
Much of the inspiration behind Superpower is personal. Three years ago, CEO and Co-Founder Jacob Peters nearly lost his life. “I believe that the many months in the hospital, multiple surgeries, and endless medications I was subjected to could have all been avoided if I had had something like Superpower to test my whole body beforehand and take better control.
To get started with Superpower head to this link, where they've already onboarded 100s of founders that are looking to feel and perform their best.
