I Built an AGI Benchmark — And Tested It Against Top AI Models

Most AI benchmarks today measure accuracy. But here’s the problem: Accuracy ≠ Intelligence. So I built something different. An experimental evaluation suite designed to measure cognitive behavior — not just outputs. And the results were… surprising. 🧠 What This Benchmark Measures Instead of one score, the system evaluates multiple cognitive dimensions: Reasoning Planning Memory Metacognition Agency Self-correction Epistemic calibration Contradiction awareness Grounding fidelity Task adaptation Citation integrity Each model gets a cognitive profile — like a brain scan. 🧪 The Experiment I tested multiple models including: ATIC (my architecture) GPT Claude Gemini Each was evaluated across controlled tasks with: identical prompts multiple seeds automated scoring judge validation 📊 What Happened Grounding changed everything. When grounding was enabled: epistemic calibration improved contradiction detection improved reasoning stability improved In other words: grounding didn’t just make answ
