AI21 Introduces Maestro, the World’s First AI Planning and Orchestration System Built for the Enterprise

AI21 is leading the shift from LLMs and Reasoning models to planning AI systems. Maestro increases the accuracy of GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5 by up to 50% on complex, multi-requirement tasks, transforming AI from an unpredictable tool to a trustworthy system.

LAS VEGAS, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AI21, a pioneer in frontier models and AI systems, today unveiled Maestro, the world’s first AI Planning and Orchestration System designed to deliver trustworthy AI at scale for organizations.

Introduced at the HumanX 2025 conference, Maestro marks a significant advancement in enterprise AI, boosting the instruction-following accuracy of paired Large Language Models (LLMs) by up to 50% and ensuring guaranteed quality, reliability, and observability. This technology transcends the limitations of traditional LLMs and Large Reasoning Models (LRMs), setting a new benchmark for AI capabilities.

Maestro delivers a substantial improvement in LLM performance on complex tasks. It elevates the accuracy of models like GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5 by up to 50% and empowers reasoning models, such as o3-mini, to surpass 95% accuracy. Notably, Maestro bridges the performance gap between non-reasoning and reasoning models, aligning the accuracy of Claude Sonnet 3.5 with advanced reasoning models like o3-mini.

While enterprises are eager to integrate AI into their operations, large-scale generative AI deployments often falter. According to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) CDO Agenda 2024, only 6% of organizations have a generative AI application in deployment, highlighting the fundamental limitations of current AI solutions for mission-critical tasks. The prevailing approaches—”Prompt and Pray” and hard-coded chains—present significant challenges. The “Prompt and Pray” method, which relies on LLMs and LRMs to execute open-ended tasks, lacks control and reliability due to the probabilistic nature of these models. Hard-coded chains, while more predictable, are rigid, labor-intensive, and prone to failure under changing conditions.

Reasoning models, designed to solve complex tasks through thinking tokens, have not alleviated these issues. They exhibit inconsistent performance, struggle to adhere to instructions, and fail to reliably utilize tools. Consequently, none of these approaches delivers the accuracy, reliability, and adaptability essential for widespread enterprise adoption.

“Mass adoption of AI by enterprises is the key to the next industrial revolution,” said Ori Goshen, Co-CEO of AI21. “AI21’s Maestro is the first step toward that future – moving beyond the unpredictability of available solutions to deliver AI that is reliable at scale. Delivering complex decision-making with built-in quality control, it enables businesses to harness AI with confidence. This is how we bridge the gap between AI potential and real-world solutions.”

“Wix is leading the charge in LLM adoption, powering hundreds of AI applications,” said Avishai Abrahami, CEO of WIX. “Maestro ushers in a new era of agentic AI – striking a necessary balance between quality, control, and trust that could be a key factor in our ability to develop trustworthy AI applications at scale.”

“The potential of enterprise AI lies in balancing innovation with reliability,” said Elad Tsur, Chief AI Officer at Applied Systems. “AI21 Maestro is a promising step toward making AI more controllable and useful for business applications, bridging the gap between powerful AI models and real-world enterprise needs.”

Maestro, powered by the AI Planning and Orchestration System (AIPOS), delivers reliable, system-level AI by integrating LLMs or LRMs into a framework that analyzes actions, plans solutions, and validates results. This framework learns the enterprise environment to ensure accuracy and efficiency, allowing builders to define requirements and obtain results that meet their criteria within seconds. By eliminating the need for prompt engineering and rigid workflows, Maestro delivers on the promise of truly trustworthy AI.

America’s Largest Political Group Is Getting Its Own Election Night

By

A record 45% of Americans identify with neither party. On November 3, they get the first nationally televised Election Night built around the independent voter bloc, presented by United Independents, the organization behind the Independent National Convention, in partnership with DeFiance Media.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can the country’s largest bloc of voters turn identity into representation? Independents now make up 45% of U.S. adults, a record high in Gallup’s 2025 data, yet partisan coverage continues to dominate mainstream mediums. On November 3, one broadcast will cover the election from the Independent point of view.

Broadcast live from the National Press Club’s television studio in Washington, D.C. Election Night 2026: Independent Edition is an eight-hour program hosted by Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents, and Macy Gunnell, NewsForce’s White House correspondent. DeFiance Media will be producing and streaming the broadcast.

Built on live election data from The Associated Press (AP), the program will call the national races as the returns come in. Then it goes where other broadcasts don’t: race-by-race coverage of independent candidates in consequential congressional contests, and guest conversations with the strategists and organizers behind them.

Built for the Voters Both Parties Are Chasing

Two generations of Americans have come of age as independent voters, and in 74 years of nationally televised Election Night broadcasts, not one has been built around them. This one is: national results and the balance of power, dedicated coverage of the independent candidates who could tip the next Congress, and a live chat with selected viewer questions put to the hosts and guests on air.

Open to Every Newsroom

Television pool feed. U.S. television outlets, including local stations, can carry the program live, in full or in part, separate from DeFiance Media’s full-program streaming.Social streaming. The broadcast streams through participating social media partners. Channels that want to carry it can sign up at Election2026.live.Live clips and excerpts. Newsrooms, commentators, and creators can pull portions of the program for reporting and social distribution while the broadcast is underway.

Request access through the Media & Distribution Access Form at Election2026.live.

Free and Accessible Nationwide

Going live Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, from 6 PM- 2 AM ET. Updates, guest announcements, and viewing instructions: Election2026.live.
