Tracking the Frontier

The Path to ASI

ASIndex independently evaluates broadly available frontier AI models with private, regularly refreshed tasks designed to limit test contamination, turning demonstrated capability into a simple public leaderboard that is easier to compare as models improve.

Current leader: Opus 5 by Anthropic Current Frontier AI is on The AGI Runway 19.8 / 100 ASIndex points
0-19
Frontier AIThe AGI RunwayBrilliant in moments, but not yet dependable over missions. Powerful general-purpose systems for reasoning, coding, creation, analysis, and tool use—still reliant on human direction, verification, and judgment.
20-39
AGI-IHuman-Level General IntelligenceThe machine crosses from assistant to cognitive peer. It adapts to unfamiliar work, plans and executes multi-step tasks, uses tools, and delivers broadly competent results with limited oversight.
40-59
AGI-IIExpert General IntelligenceExpertise becomes general. The system matches strong human specialists across many domains, exceeds them in some, and transfers insight between fields without losing rigor.
60-79
AGI-IIIExceptional General IntelligenceIt does not just navigate the frontier—it moves it. Better than nearly every individual human across most cognitive work, it repeatedly produces original discoveries, designs, and strategies.
80-99
AGI-IVSuperhuman General IntelligenceNo individual human remains the benchmark. The system exceeds the best human experts across virtually all cognitive domains and sustains complex, long-horizon programs with extraordinary reliability.
100
Artificial SuperintelligenceCivilization-Scale SuperintelligenceNo human institution remains the benchmark. ASI outperforms even large, well-coordinated human expert collectives across virtually all cognitive work, operating at machine speed and scale.100 marks the ASI threshold—not the ceiling.

Scores represent demonstrated capability, not elapsed time, percentage completion, or a forecast of when the next level will be reached. Equal spacing does not imply equal effort between levels.

The destination is not intelligence alone. It is aligned superintelligence that expands human agency, accelerates discovery, and helps civilization thrive.

Scores are point-in-time estimates of publicly available AI system capability. Hosted systems can improve over time even when the public name stays the same, so we will test weekly with fresh test mechanics and algorithms.

ASIndex measures public AI system capability, not safety certification, investment advice, procurement advice, or regulatory approval.
