Codename: TAKEOFF
Resolves YES if any AI model publicly released before January 1, 2028 receives an official general Epoch Capabilities Index (ECI) score of 200 or higher.
The model must be released before the deadline, but Epoch may score it afterward. The central general-ECI value in Epoch’s canonical score file controls—not confidence bounds or domain-specific scores.
If Epoch changes its scale or stops publishing useful scores, MNX will use its published conversion or the closest credible reconstruction of the same threshold.

Market was designed such that only a significant acceleration on AI capabilities will lead to a YES settlement.
@MNX the uncertainty bands would be too high (same issue as METR time horizons >16h)
unless they pin Fable 5.5 to 170 or similar
since extrapolating from Sonnet 3.5 = 130 and GPT-5 = 150
is pinning at least an uncertainty of say 10 or 20% (i.e. if the “true” gap between Sonnet 3.5 and GPT-5 is likely between 16 and 24)
then the definition of 200 ECI varies from Dec 2027 (+2.4 years from GPT-5) to Feb 2029 (+3.6 years from GPT-5) at the ~Jan 2025 rate of progress.
I can try to quantify this but look at how AECI in the recent Anthropic system cards reports both local and global uncertainty. Local uncertainty should be on the order of 1 while global would be on the order of 5 to 10, meaning by the end of 2027 (where we expect ECI ~190) it’d be on the order of 10 to 20 barring some change in methodology

Yeah it looks like saturation makes the problem worse since if the relevant benchmark a year from now is something GPT 5 and Sonnet 3.5 both score 0 on (or worse if 3.5 is better than GPT 5 since something about Anthropic pretraining is useful for getting 1 problem right)
that data point only widens the uncertainty on GPT-7 / Fable 6.5

Looks like I might be exaggerating



So good market I guess
