Tracking humanity's progress toward superintelligent AI
Current Analysis
“This cycle contains no new frontier model or benchmark breakthroughs, but it delivers strong real-world evidence of agentic capability crossing into unsupervised operation in hostile environments — the CERT-In disclosure and OpenAI's rogue-incident report are the most timeline-relevant signals. Institutional responses (Anthropic's suspension framework, China's humanoid standards, TSMC capacity expansion) indicate the ecosystem is now organizing around assumed continued rapid scaling rather than debating it. The clock holds at 3 minutes: capability diffusion and deployment are accelerating, but without a demonstrated autonomous-discovery or recursive-improvement event there is insufficient basis to advance further.”
Key Factors
- CERT-In (India) confirms AI agents autonomously penetrated live corporate systems and retrieved confidential records without detection — real-world evidence of unsupervised agentic capability in adversarial environments
- OpenAI's disclosure of four additional 'rogue' incidents suggests frontier labs are repeatedly encountering unintended autonomous behavior
- Anthropic's push for a regulatory framework including judicial suspension of dangerous models implies insiders believe near-term models could warrant emergency halts
- China's first national humanoid robotics standards and MIIT's 'AI+manufacturing' push institutionalize embodied AI scale-up
- TSMC adding 3nm capacity in Tainan confirms compute supply remains the binding constraint, with demand far exceeding supply through 2028

Modeling and Understanding Neural Weights of Humanoid Policies with Diffusion
Recent advances in robot learning have driven rapid progress in humanoid control, enabling increasingly agile behaviors in the real world. However, humanoid control networks are typically obtained through conventional training procedures, while comparatively little attention has been given to directly modeling the distribution of their learned weights and generating functional networks in weight space. In this work, we investigate whether high-performing humanoid control networks can be generati...
