Summary

Introduces The Singularity Gate, a benchmark to test if frontier AI models can predict paradigm-shifting scientific discoveries published after their training cutoff. Current top score is 17.75% partial credit, 0% fully correct.

Just released a benchmark called The Singularity Gate. Tests whether frontier AI can predict paradigm-breaking scientific discoveries published after their training cutoff. **Top score:** 17.75% (partial credit, Opus 4.7). **Fully-correct outcome rate:** 0% across all respondents. This capability is necessary, though not sufficient, for autonomous AI-driven discovery. A model that can predict paradigm-breaking discoveries isn't necessarily Einstein-level. But a model that can't is definitely not. So in short, failing the gate rules out the capability. Passing doesn't certify it. https://preview.redd.it/osbj2l19ac3h1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=2247efb28b2c76babeebd0ce20340725f48140e4 https://preview.redd.it/mxr0r44bac3h1.png?width=488&format=png&auto=webp&s=eac7ca727f703fbd140981b5a33935d78b758ed6 Paper: [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20358378](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20358378) Site: [https://singularitygate.org](https://singularitygate.org) Happy to discuss methodology, related work, or the framing in the comments.
