Methodology
How the index works
The Singularity clock
Seconds to midnight = (100 − the average index of the top three labs) × 12. When the leaders improve, the hand moves closer to midnight.
Sources
Google News (Bing News as a fallback), Hacker News and OpenRouter, scanned every 5 minutes. Capability and capital are editorial baselines, reviewed against public leaderboards and funding reports. Last reviewed recently.
