FutureSearch Exits Beta: AI Forecasting Platform Claims Superhuman Accuracy
eli_lifland · x · 2026-08-04
AI forecasting company FutureSearch has exited its public beta and is now generally available. The company claims to be ranked #1 out of 196 in the most competitive AI forecasting tournament (Metaculus FutureEval) and scores above the #2 and #3 human forecasters in premier mixed human-bot tournaments.
The platform supports various forecast types (probability, numeric, date, conditional) and introduces decision forecasting to help users determine if an action will lead to a desired outcome. Its core innovation is world modeling, where forecasts draw on a persistent latent representation of the future to improve accuracy. Additionally, the platform trades live on real prediction markets like Kalshi, with all positions and research fully public.
