Everyone's talking about better AI models.

We spent two and a half years learning that the model was never the hard part.

Building Ida — our AI Engineering Agent — the real engineering effort went into everything around the model. The constraints. The verification gates. The feedback loops. The physics-range enforcement that makes it impossible for Ida to output a mud weight no drilling engineer would ever accept.

That's harness engineering. And it turns out we were doing it before the term existed.

The model is the engine. The harness is the vehicle. And the teams shipping reliable AI are the ones who figured that out.

Happy International Pi Day! 🥧

3.14159… an infinite, irrational number that somehow sits at the heart of how the physical world works. Fitting, then, that we celebrate it today.

At Pions, physics isn't a backdrop — it's the foundation everything we build is grounded in. Just as π doesn't approximate a circle, our AI engineers don't approximate engineering. They reason from first principles: pressure gradients, fluid dynamics, the laws that govern real systems. Not pattern matching. Not guessing.

Engineering doesn't allow for guessing. Neither does π.

Here's to the constants that hold the world together — and to building intelligence worthy of them.

Happy International Women's Day 🩷

At Pions, we deal in signal over noise. And the signal here is clear: engineering has a talent problem, and half the solution has been underutilised for decades.

Women make up just 13.7% of the global engineering workforce. That's not a diversity statistic — it's an inefficiency statistic.

We're building AI to transform and reimagine engineering. Equality isn't a values statement for us. It's a requirement.

To every woman at Pions and across the engineering world pushing the frontier forward — we see you, we back you, and we're building alongside you.

🚀 Announcing Configuration Intelligence.

Engineering doesn’t slow down because engineers lack expertise. It slows down because configurations are scattered. Before engineering really starts, someone has to wrangle parameters—across planning tools, databases, PDFs and spreadsheets, and whathaveyou.

This week we've announced Configuration Intelligence to our AI Engineering Agents.

Now, when an engineer asks: “Run simulations on well A‑123” …the agent automatically:
✅ Finds (or retrieves) the right configuration
✅ Validates data quality and flags anomalies
✅ Guides you conversationally when something’s missing
✅ Stores and reuses configs for the next request
✅ Keeps the workflow in chat—no context switching

Reimagining engineering, one invisible bottleneck at a time.

Today we’re taking another big step on the path toward Artificial Engineering Intelligence (AEI), and releasing Ida 2.0, our most capable ai engineering agent to date. Ida 2.0 delivers significant improvements in speed, reliability, and quality across all objectives and task types.

i) Autonomous operations
ii) Intelligent design and engineering
iii) Engineer Productivity/Data management
iv) Engineering LLM

More intelligent, better at following your instructions, more perceptive to nuanced intent, detailed and information-dense visualizations, deeper interactivity, and with augmented enterprise-level customization.

From a system standpoint, the Ida 2.0 architecture offers much improved stability, fault tolerance, and security, making the system way more trustworthy also for production workloads Expanded operational control & customization provides deep observability into agent behaviour, a requisite for agents to build trust with human engineers and other users.

In our internal benchmarks, the Ida 2.0 achieved significant improvement in task quality compared with previous models. Testers highlighted the model’s improved relevance, and structure in its responses, and reported she was easier to understand.

Ida has added autonomous drilling of onshore wells to her powers. In other words, she is now trained to start performing real-time monitoring and parameter optimization also of onshore wells.

Optimizing the following parameters in real time
i. WOB
ii. Flow
iii. RPM
iv. ROP
v. Tripping speed

whilst monitoring, predicting and avoiding things like
i. Stuck
ii. Kicks/influxes
iii. Losses
iv. Pack-off
v. Washout
vi. Blocked nozzles
vii. Surge/swab

Thanks to our partners in Team Ida for having Ida train on their onshore wells globally, conventional and unconventional.

Exciting times. Not just due to the fact that it is summer 🌞 in the northern hemisphere, but because we are introducing the next generation of Ida, our first AI-powered engineer 👷‍♀️ .

Setting new standards for advanced reasoning and inference capabilities, as well as enhancing complex task management. Also, a new powerful feature extractor significantly boosts Ida’s adaptability and generalization, allowing her to tackle complex, real-world environments with increased confidence and efficiency. The most significant upgrade since December last year.

Other news from the latest release include:

i) Taking care of simulations, and important and often time-consuming part of an engineer’s life. Using proprietary dynamic transient modelling, she not only frees up engineers’ time, but help reduce risk and optimize plans.

ii) Data search and retrieval, analysis (e.g. DDRs, EOWRs), and reporting (progress, and performance).

iii) To boot, we're introducing seamless integration with the tools and workflows energy companies already rely on, and have invested in. Making it easier for Ida’s customers to get started, and scale usage quickly.

We have also started external testing of our Engineering SME – your AI powered thinking partner. Think Claude or ChatGPT for drilling engineers. Things are about to get interesting!
