As of 11 September 2026, AKI classifies the status of AGI as 'Contested'. While major lab leaders including Greg Brockman (OpenAI) and Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) publicly declared the arrival of the AGI era on 3 September 2026, AKI actuarial verification confirms that AGI-2 (specialist human equivalence across software engineering and professional tasks) has been achieved, but AGI-3 (genuine autonomous scientific research, non-provider-adapted ARC-AGI-3 reasoning, and 48-hour unassisted execution) has not been verified under standardized external harnesses.
AGI-2 represents 'Human Specialist Parity', where models consistently beat median 90th-percentile human experts on isolated intellectual tasks (e.g. SWE-bench Verified coding > 80%, GPQA Diamond > 80%). AGI-3 represents 'Autonomous Research Parity', which demands that the AI formulate novel scientific hypotheses, solve out-of-distribution reasoning puzzles like ARC-AGI-3 without custom provider harnesses, and sustain multi-day execution without catastrophic hallucination or human intervention.
Leadership is currently contested between OpenAI GPT-6 Astra (98.7 AKI Capability Score, leading in raw agentic speed and provider-harness ARC-AGI-3) and Anthropic Claude Fable 5.1 / Opus 5 (98.4 AKI Capability Score, leading in verified SWE-bench coding parity at 82.6% and autonomous desktop/browser computer use). Strong open-weight contenders include DeepSeek V4 and Qwen3.8 Max.
On 3 September 2026, OpenAI claimed that GPT-6 Astra saturated ARC-AGI-3 at 99.9%. Independent audits revealed that this score was obtained using custom, stateful provider-adapter harnesses with extensive test-time compute. When subjected to standardized, blind external harnesses without vendor fine-tuning, the replicated score dropped to 74.2%, resulting in a 25.7-point Reality Gap delta.
The United States leads in frontier closed model capability, massive capital consolidation ($100B+ Stargate infrastructure), and high-end semiconductor density. China leads in open-weight diffusion, ultra-low inference costs (exemplified by DeepSeek V4 and Qwen3.8 Max), and dedicated green baseload energy (32 GW committed to AI clusters).
The Capability-Safety Divergence Index measures the gap between an AI model's cognitive action space and the safety/alignment bandwidth available to monitor and contain it. A divergence spread greater than 15 points (observed in models like GPT-6 Astra and Grok 4.6) indicates elevated containment risk where autonomous tool use outpaces interpretability audit latencies.
The 10 Flagship Indexes are: AAM100 (AGI Models 100™), AAR50 (AGI Readiness 50™), AAS50 (AGI Safety 50™), AACR50 (AGI Country Race 50™), AECT100 (Evidence & Claims 100™), AAT100 (Timeline 100™), AAD30 (Definitions 30™), AGSI50 (Scientific Intelligence 50™), AGEW50 (Economic Work 50™), and AGM100 (Moat 100™).
