Following is the latest announcement of Permion products. This is a major step upward from our old VivoMind Company, which terminated all activity in 2010. Arun Majumdar is the CEO of Permion, and I am a Permion Fellow. That means I am in an advisory position, but not actively working on day-to-day developments. Note the two terms in the phrase "neural pattern recognition with symbolic reasoning." Tthe first uses LLMs for Generative AI and the second is an extended upgrade of the symbolic reasoning in our VivoMind system of 2010. The purely symbolic applications of VivoMind in 2010 were very impressive, even without any Generative AI components. For examples of some applications (all of which were developed for paying customers) see slides 44 to 64 of https://jfsowa.com/talks/cogmem.pdf . Note that those applications, which are more than 15 years old, are still very impressive today. The latest extensions by Permion can perform all of them in addition to the LLM-style of processing. They can use the symbolic methods to detect and eliminate LLM errors and hallucinations.
