The company is a small startup with an amazing breakthrough called Optimizing Mind.

They have magical ways of 'explaining' black box models.

But it's not what DARPA is pushing (box remains black), rather the opposite, illuminating what's inside the box, making it a transparent open box. So much so, that the models they make you can edit by hand, since they make sense (to mere humans). Has rather immense implications.

Here's their crappy website: https://optimizingmind.com

I guess by DARPA you mean https://www.darpa.mil/program/explainable-artificial-intelli... ?

It might be their crappy website, but I don't feel like Optimizing Mind is likely to create a better solution than that DARPA project. Their single "Static Demo" shows the importance of various factors in a linear regression model ... but that isn't exactly revolutionary. There might be some value in nicely packaging this for decision makers who use linear regression models but don't know how they work, but I doubt that it scales to much larger models.
