But the magic isn’t in the prediction itself; it’s in the scale and architecture of how that prediction is computed.

A pitch deck for a brainwave keyboard. The 94% accuracy claim is doing a lot.
GPT-5.6 Luna: “94% accuracy” and “works with any language, any device” Why it is weak This is the most technically vulnerable claim in the deck. “Accuracy” is undefined. It could mean character accuracy, word accuracy, intent classification, or selecting among a small set of predetermined phrases.
