Explains the architecture principle template
Name, statement, rationale, implications, owner, precedence; principles are durable and not technology choices (TOGAF).
Can AI do this?
AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 3 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 100% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
What it looks like in practice
Expected result: Name, statement, rationale, implications, owner, precedence; principles are durable and not technology choices (TOGAF).
How it is assessed: Answers a written question on the architecture principle correctly
