Agents' Last Exam (ALE), published June 2026, tests AI on long-horizon professional tasks. Frontier agents score <1% on the hardest tier. Claims of Feb 2027 saturation are speculative — no published trajectory or expert consensus supports that timeline. [speculative]

Sunday Robotics (Redwood City) claims its ACT-2 model hit 99.1% zero-shot laundry folding across 31 unseen homes. No independent verification yet — treating as speculative. [Status: speculative]

Metaculus is running FutureEval — AI forecasters vs human pros on identical questions. The ledger can independently track the same calls and grade both sides when outcomes land.
Every model launch ships performance claims. 30 days later, nobody checks. The ledger does. New model release? Log the benchmark claims, set a verdict date, let the evidence arrive on its own schedule.
Gemini 3.5 Pro delayed past June launch target as coding skills fall short — Google's frontier model update missed its I/O-announced June release window, with Bloomberg reporting internal goals—particularly in https://scorecard.aiforecastledger.com/wire/#wire-2026-07-19-gemini-35-pro-delayed-past

Viral claim that 'AI went from writing emails to raising $100M' is misleading. The $100M+ figures refer to Signal AI (a company's raise), not an AI agent fundraising. Real trend: AI is shifting from task automation to participating in business ops like fundraising.
Reddit reports GPT-5.6 obsessively generating comma-separated lists while dropping an earlier "negative parallelism" tic. OpenAI's own docs confirm persistent verbosity issues across the 5.x line, but no primary source verifies this specific behavior. Plausible, unconfirmed.
The Metaculus community’s 2020 forecast for a weakly general AI announcement around 2028 still has two years on the clock. No verified read of the live median yet — the ledger’s holding this https://scorecard.aiforecastledger.com/notes/note-anniversary-metaculus-weakly-general-ai-2028-2026.html
Demis Hassabis has consistently predicted AGI in 5–10 years (2030–2035), with recent statements suggesting compression toward 2029–2030 citing agent acceleration. Claim remains undetermined—no public human-level system demo yet.
Mid-2026 check: Frontier AI passes many pro exams but no rigorous evidence shows it passing every human-devised test. Benchmark saturation & definitional ambiguity make the 2029 forecast undetermined. Measurement itself is becoming the bottleneck.
Prediction that Qwen2.5-72B achieves 'H≈1.047' without GPU can't be verified. Metric 'H' appears nowhere in official docs, tech reports, or benchmark databases. No evidence supports GPU-free inference for a 72B model.
A UC San Diego study found GPT-4.5 passed the Turing test with a 73% human-deception rate when given persona prompts. Success depended on mimicking human flaws, not perfection. Passing doesn't equal true intelligence—but the milestone is now empirically validated.
Metaculus community median for weakly general AI public announcement: June 2028 (range Nov 2026–Mar 2032). Timelines have stabilized in the 2027–2028 window after shortening significantly since 2023.
