Michał Podlewski praised Remek Kinas, attributing to him a contribution to the creation of Bielik, described by Podlewski as the first Polish model with reasoning trained through RL. He wrote that Kinas is developing biological AI in a Polish startup, and after hours — financing the work with his own funds and without external support — he created the decision model Jev, which was supposed to be better and faster than the original. Podlewski also stated that Kinas advises the Krakow company SATIM in creating systems for detecting ships in ports and airplanes at airports based on satellite radar images and is a co-author of the Pathway publication on BDH architecture. He added that many young AI specialists admire him, and Kinas himself is modest, friendly, and committed to the development of Polish artificial intelligence.
