NO TECHNICAL BACKGROUND NEEDED

Understand the change.
Then check the evidence.

Leapscope connects new discoveries, the companies behind them and the history of what models could do.

THE LEAPSCOPE LADDER

From claim to real.

Most AI news stops at the announcement. We follow each breakthrough and move it up the ladder only when public evidence supports it.

  1. ClaimAnnounced or reported by the team behind it. Not yet checked by others.
  2. VerifiedChecked by outside experts, official judges or by results anyone can recheck.
  3. UsableYou can try it: public code, a model, a tool or a dataset is available.
  4. In useWidely used in real work beyond the team that built it.

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE READING

A release, a result and an access update are different.

Model release
A new AI model was announced. Its availability and capabilities need their own checks.
Research
A finding was reported. A paper or announcement alone does not prove every claim.
Access update
Who can use a model changed. This does not increase its capability score.
Company profile
An introduction to a business and its products, with links to its own materials.
READ THE EVIDENCE LABEL

Source checked does not mean proven.

Source reviewed
We checked the original announcement. We did not independently test the model.
Claim under review
The claim is still being examined. Treat possible benefits as possibilities.
Mixed verification
Different parts of a collection have different levels of checking.

On the default chart, up means a higher Epoch AI capability score. Scores are index points, not “times smarter.” Switch to the release calendar to see dated events without scores.
