We are proud to announce a new partnership with Q&SMART, the Seoul-based edtech company behind DaVinciQ, an AI-powered “thought exploration” platform that helps learners build critical thinking skills through structured debate with AI.

Under the partnership, Theta EdgeCloud will provide the GPU infrastructure behind DaVinciQ’s AI debates, scoring and reports as the platform scales.

An AI That Teaches Students How to Think

DaVinciQ is built to make students think, not to hand them answers. Every session moves through three stages.

01

Thought Map

A session starts with a single keyword, which the Thought Map expands into six perspectives and eighteen branches.

02

Five-Round AI Debate

The AI asks follow-up questions, probes weak evidence and offers counterexamples, the way a good debate coach would.

03

Thinking Skills Report

Scores six cognitive skills against a rubric, cites the exact statements behind each score, and recommends what to practice next.

Over time, the platform also tracks which perspectives a learner tends to favor and suggests opposing viewpoints to keep their thinking balanced.

In the age of AI, the most important skill is not finding answers but asking better questions. DaVinciQ was built to help learners do exactly that. With Theta EdgeCloud’s GPU infrastructure, we can deliver richer, more responsive AI debates to more students as we grow.

Why Theta EdgeCloud

Every session asks the model to follow an evolving argument, generate targeted counterpoints and then evaluate the whole conversation against a detailed rubric. That is compute-intensive work, and the demand grows quickly as more classrooms and learners adopt the platform.

Theta EdgeCloud gives Q&SMART access to scalable, cost-efficient GPU compute through its hybrid cloud-edge architecture, so the team can focus on the product rather than the infrastructure.

AI should make people better thinkers, not just faster answer-finders. Q&SMART is using AI to challenge students to reason, question and defend their ideas, and we’re excited to provide the compute that helps DaVinciQ reach more learners.

Growing Theta’s Education Ecosystem

Q&SMART joins a growing community of education and research partners on Theta EdgeCloud. Korea has become one of Theta’s strongest academic communities, with AI labs at KAIST, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and more using Theta EdgeCloud to accelerate their research. Partnering with Q&SMART carries that commitment beyond university research labs and into everyday learning.

We look forward to supporting Q&SMART as DaVinciQ helps more learners think critically, argue thoughtfully and explore ideas from every angle.
