How AI IQ estimates model intelligence

  1. We archive source captures from public benchmark leaderboards and extract only source-backed values
  2. We map each benchmark score to an implied IQ using calibrated difficulty curves
  3. We group scored benchmarks into seven dimensions: abstract, mathematical, academic, programmatic, computer use, reliability, and knowledge work
  4. We conservatively fill missing benchmark and dimension estimates only inside the scoring pipeline
  5. Every derived IQ averages all seven scored dimensions, so missing coverage cannot make a model look better by omission
