The story behind AI IQ — and who's building it

What AI IQ is

AI IQ scores frontier AI models on a human IQ scale, turning a sprawl of benchmarks into a single, intuitive number — with per-dimension breakdowns across math, science, coding, computer use, and more. It exists because the question everyone asks — “which model is smartest?” — deserves an answer that is both rigorous and readable. For the full scoring approach, see the Methodology.

About the creator

AI IQ is built by Ryan Shea. He studied Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Princeton, with minors in Computer Science and Robotics, and co-founded Stacks, a leading platform for smart contracts on Bitcoin. He has invested in over a dozen startups now collectively worth more than a billion dollars, and in 2025 served as a Senior Advisor at the U.S. FDA, where he helped build Elsa — an internal AI assistant — and a real-time clinical-trials system. His work centers on the intersection of AI and biotech. More at shea.io.
