So it sounds like this startup is explicitly not using foundation models?

Is there any evidence that such a probabilistic model can run better than a state of the art model?

Or alternatively what would it take to convert an existing model (let's say, an easy one like llama2-7b) into an extropic model?

No, but they got 15M seed funding anyway.
