Recognises terms defined by each other
Two or more terms are defined by means of each other.
Can AI do this?
AI does this partly Some of the tested AI models master this; others do not show it. 2 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 97% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.1-pro-preview* | Flagship | 77% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-astra* | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| claude-fable-5-1* | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.8-flash* | Mid tier | 100% | Mastered |
| gpt-6.1-sol* | Mid tier | 100% | Mastered |
| claude-sonnet-5-5* | Mid tier | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 4% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 4% | Not shown |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 97% | Mastered |
* From the earlier benchmark of 2026-10: 10 data-modelling test tasks, 3 runs per task, graded by claude-opus-5-5. These models have not taken the current 123 tasks yet; the two methods differ, so compare their figures with care. They are left out of the “most models” counts and the best-model picks.
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 loop of terms
How it is assessed: Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: customer: party that has a customer relationship with the bank; customer relationship: relationship between the bank and a customer Acceptable: customer: party that holds, or has applied to hold, at least one account with the bank (customer relationship may then use customer)
Also known as: Circular across the concept system (business term)
