Milestones

Full milestone registry

Filter the top-level AGI milestones by status, confidence, and category. Each result opens into a dedicated detail view with sub-question evidence.

Methodology

These public-facing capability pillars are plain-language summaries built on a deeper coverage map spanning reasoning, learning, truthfulness, self-monitoring, social competence, multimodal understanding, safety, and robustness. Each granular question is intended to be backable by benchmarks, controlled studies, audits, red-team exercises, longitudinal trials, or expert-blind review.
