Rob Toews: “In 2026, details of SSI’s approach will finally leak to the public.

🔒 The test · locked Aug 28, 2026

MET if Substantive technical details of Safe Superintelligence's core research approach become public via reputable press reporting, leaked documents, or company/employee disclosure. Vague public statements about ambitions or 'a different mountain' without technical substance do not count at any point, before 2026-12-31 23:59 (UTC).

Settles by documented review of public evidence against these locked criteria; the reviewer is named and the reasoning published.

The original wording did not settle the timing on its own. The reading above was chosen at registration and locked with the claim — it was not decided after the fact.

Resolves TRUE if, between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026, reputable press reporting or a public disclosure reveals substantive technical details of Safe Superintelligence's core research approach or paradigm (e.g., its training method, architecture or research agenda). General or non-technical public remarks by Sutskever or SSI staff that do not describe the approach do not count.

✓ The anchored proof cannot be rewritten, and the published record is append-only by default. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — corrections are appended, never silently edited in.

Verify this record yourself

The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.

Disputes

No disputes have been filed. If something here is wrong — a misquote, a wrong date, a misattributed source — say so and it gets answered on the record. How disputes work.
