There are no smart AI models.

I’ll show you.

@NirZicherman @oboelabs Woah, very cool! Excited to play around with this.

[Ryan Shea @ryaneshea]

Today I’m launching AI IQ — frontier AI models, scored on the human IQ scale.

Instead of endless leaderboard tables, AI IQ shows:

• Where models land on the IQ bell curve
• How frontier IQ is changing over time
• How models compare on IQ and EQ
• What intelligence costs in practice

GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1, Grok 4.3, Kimi K2.6, Qwen3.6, DeepSeek V4, Muse Spark, and more.

Link in the first reply. Curious which chart surprises you most.

For decades, animal advocates lobbied to stop the worst abuses of farm animals -- with limited results.

Then they changed strategy and achieved wins that have already benefited hundreds of millions of animals, and are set to benefit billions more.

Here's the story... 🧵

Marc Andreessen recently tweeted “In our new era of AI: Every child will have an A.I. tutor that is infinitely patient, infinitely knowledgeable, infinitely helpful.”

That era is here.

could women's "gossip" build the next search engine?

or perhaps a social search engine that closes the gender information gap the more ~women talk~? ❤️‍🔥
