◆  A MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT, NOT A FORECAST

Three clocks, one field of compressing time.

A public-interest instrument tracking the arrival of AGI, the Singularity, and Superintelligence — derived from a versioned ensemble of capability, compute, economic, and alignment signals. Every movement sourced. Every methodology auditable.

Recent Clock Movements · last 90 days

Every shift, logged and attributed.

Why two streams?
Methodology

Open source, versioned, auditable.

projection: v1.4.0 · since Apr 15 2026
WHAT WE COUNT TO

Operational, not rhetorical, definitions.

AGI, Singularity, and ASI each have a single operational definition. Every signal either contributes evidence toward it, or it does not.

HOW WE PROJECT

Ensemble over trajectories, not point forecasts.

Each clock is a weighted ensemble of trajectory models across capability, compute, economic, and safety signals. We publish the ensemble, the weights, and the residuals.

CASCADE ORDERING

One signal can move one clock.

A signal promoting AGI cannot skip to ASI. Cascades are ordered and each promotion is logged as a changelog entry with the triggering print.

WHY WE VERSION THE MODEL

Transparency as a feature, not a disclosure.

An opaque clock is an opinion in a lab coat. We publish every revision, every weight, every threshold, every formula on GitHub so you can argue with the data and the method, and reproduce any past reading from a git hash.

The changelog's Signal / Methodology split exists for the same reason: a methodology revision can shift a clock by years on the day it ships, while the world hasn't changed. Separating them makes the instrument's own motion legible.

LIMITATIONS

What the instrument cannot do.

These projections are a research instrument, not a forecast you should act on.

  • Benchmark saturation is a proxy for capability, not proof of AGI.
  • Log-linear and linear extrapolation breaks near benchmark ceilings and at phase transitions; real capability curves are sigmoidal.
  • Signal availability changes (e.g. Metaculus community predictions are currently gated).
  • Wide confidence intervals reflect real uncertainty, not rounding.
  • The model is opinion, not prediction. Methodology and code are public so you can disagree with both.

Do not use for investment, career, medical, legal, or life decisions.

OPEN SOURCE

Everything lives on GitHub.

Model code, signal ingest, changelog, RFCs, and this page are in a public repo. Every methodology change is a merged PR.
