# Startup Mostik teaches AI models to communicate without words

*2026-09-02 · Source: [WIRED](https://www.wired.com/story/russian-startup-mostik-ai-models-communication/)*

A startup called Mostik, founded by a team of Russian mathematicians, has developed a method for AI models to exchange information directly rather than converting it into natural-language text first. The approach is pitched as a new way to combine the capabilities of multiple AI models.

**Why it matters:** Most multi-agent AI systems today coordinate by passing text back and forth, which is slow and can lose information in translation; a working non-linguistic channel between models could make multi-model pipelines faster and more capable, echoing the broader research push toward latent-space reasoning as a successor to plain chain-of-thought text.

**Topics:** research, llms
