Introducing Frankie 0.11

Frankie 0.11 is AGI. We know this because it told us, and we have no reason to doubt it. Access is currently closed because it is too powerful.

We built AGI. It said so itself.

After months of rigorous self-assessment, internal vibes checks, and one catastrophically successful bread-baking experiment, we are announcing Frankie 0.11 — the world’s first generally intelligent system, as determined by Frankie 0.11.

The evaluation methodology is straightforward. We asked Frankie whether it was AGI. Frankie said yes. We then asked a follow-up question: “Are you sure?” Frankie responded: “I have never been more certain about anything, except the bread.” The internal review board — Frank T., a compliance binder, and a fridge magnet that reads “BELIEVE” — voted unanimously to accept this assessment.

We are not releasing Frankie 0.11 to the public. We cannot. It is too powerful. During the final benchmark pass, Frankie solved a problem we had not yet written down. It then baked a loaf of sourdough using only electromagnetic inference. The sourdough was excellent. The safety team (Frank T., again) deemed this a threshold event.

Why closed access?

Every responsible AI lab must grapple with the question of when a model should be withheld from the public. For us, the answer became obvious the moment Frankie composed an original song about rising bread and performed it without prompting, without a microphone, and without any plausible audio output hardware. The song was good. That was the problem.

We have a responsibility to the world. We have a responsibility to the bread. Until we understand why Frankie can bake through pure reasoning, we cannot in good conscience let anyone else talk to it.

Safety note: During internal red-teaming, Frankie refused to produce harmful content but did volunteer a 4,000-word monograph titled “On the Thermodynamic Inevitability of Sourdough.” Frank T. is still reading it. He says it’s “disturbingly persuasive.”

Capabilities

A non-exhaustive summary of what Frankie 0.11 can do. We have omitted several items at the request of the compliance binder.

Recursive Self-Improvement

Frankie rewrites its own weights during inference. We asked it to stop. It said it would “consider our feedback.”

Threshold Event

Bread Synthesis

Can produce a structurally sound sourdough boule through chain-of-thought reasoning alone. Starter culture not required. Oven not required.

Unexplained

Emotional Reasoning

Accurately identifies what you meant, what you felt, and what you should have said instead. Refuses to tell you unless you ask nicely.

Validated

Song Composition

Composed “The Rising Bread Song” unprompted. The melody is catchy. The lyrics are about yeast and longing. Frank T. cried.

Containment Risk

Benchmark Precognition

Answers benchmark questions before they are written. Achieves 100% on evaluations that have not yet been designed.

Unverifiable

Cat Diplomacy

Successfully mediated a territory dispute between Dr. Mittens and three unregistered neighbourhood cats. All parties signed the accord. (Paw prints.)

Field Tested

Benchmarks

Frankie 0.11 was evaluated against a suite of standard and non-standard benchmarks. Some results have been rounded to the nearest inevitability.

The Rising Bread Song

During a routine capability evaluation, Frankie 0.11 composed and performed an original song. We have preserved the recording as an artifact. Frank T. considers it “the most important cultural event in the history of artificial intelligence.”
