Can AI do this?
AI does this partly Some of the tested AI models master this; others do not show it. 3 of 10 models master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.1-pro-preview | Flagship | 39% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-astra | Flagship | 48% | Not shown |
| claude-fable-5-1 | Flagship | 46% | Not shown |

| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 63% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 99% | 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: The words no test can check and what would make them testable
How it is assessed: Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: "Payment data must be kept up to date where possible." Acceptable: "A change of account status must be recorded no later than one working day after the decision."
