An ingeniously designed autoencoder (PrimeNet) using simulated observations of future generation ECHO satellite mission recovers CMB B mode map, angular spectrum for multipoles ℓ \lesssim 9 and tensor to scalar ratio r \it limited only by cosmic variance down to r= 0.0001 and below. We use diverse, realistically complex and detailed foreground models. PrimeNet predicts accurate results even when data with r=0 are tested which were not used in training, implying robust and efficient predictive power. The work eliminates a major bottleneck of weak CMB B mode reconstruction and takes a leap forward for understanding fundamental physics of the primordial Universe.
