Reddit post projects an ECI of about 182.5 for 'Model 4' using a linear fit from an AI R&D benchmarks page

A r/singularity post fits a linear relationship between ECI and a second metric labeled AECI, reports r² of 0.997, and uses it to project an ECI near 182.5 for 'Model 4'.

From the last30days · reddit article of November 7, 2026 and cited sources: The post fits the line ECI ≈ 1.0721 × AECI − 8.982 to data from a linked AI R&D benchmarks uplift page and reports a Pearson r² of 0.997. [1]

THE CORE IDEAS2 TAKEAWAYS
01

The post fits the line ECI ≈ 1.0721 × AECI − 8.982 to data from a linked AI R&D benchmarks uplift page and reports a Pearson r² of 0.997. [1]

02

Using that fit, the poster projects an ECI of about 182.5 for 'Model 4'. The post doesn't say which model this is, what AECI value went into the formula, or how the source data was chosen. [1]

WHY IT MATTERS

Capability indices are increasingly used to compare frontier models and forecast progress.

Projecting a score for an unreleased or unclear model from a single regression can produce eye-catching numbers, so readers need to know the method and what it assumes.

based on this input https://tecunningham.github.io/ai-rnd-benchmarks/uplift.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com ECI≈1.0721xAECI-8.982 Pearson r^2=0.997 (huge huge correlation) this result in model 4’s ECI = 182.5
