THE INTELLIGENCE ARC
AN INTERACTIVE HISTORY OF WHAT COMES NEXT

First, we built
machines.
Then, we taught
them to think.

From the server in a room to intelligence that can act. Explore the ideas that changed what computers can do—and what they still can’t.

Progress, with
the receipts.

A model doesn’t have one intelligence score. Change the task, and the picture changes. Explore comparable rows from OpenAI’s GPT-6 launch evaluation.

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS STILL BEING WRITTEN

More capable.
Not beyond question.

The useful question isn’t only “Is this AGI?” It’s “What can this system reliably do, under which conditions, and who remains accountable?”

THE READING ROOM

Built on ideas.
Grounded in sources.

Milestones mark publications or launches—not the invention of an entire field. Infrastructure and AI methods continue to coexist.
