Forethought is proud to announce the launch of Deep Thought^[1] — the world's first fully automated macrostrategy researcher, and the world’s most powerful AI model.

For some time, we have believed that one of the most important things a macrostrategy research organisation can do is work to automate its own work. The case is simple: if the questions we're investigating matter, then expanding access to high-quality answers matters too — and no bottleneck is more binding than the scarcity of researchers who can generate them. Today marks our first concrete step toward addressing that bottleneck.

Scorecard

As you can see, Deep Thought is the world’s frontier AI model, getting a perfect 100/100 Frontier Macrostrategy Evaluation Score, measured by the benchmark, Post-Humanity’s Last Exam.

In fact, not only did Deep Thought blow all competitors out the water, it even revealed high performance in a new unfathomable dimension of capability that we are still struggling to comprehend. We’re excited to share that we’re now well past the point of feasible human evaluation or oversight.

Early human feedback was also extremely positive. Beta testers described the system as "sublime,", "mind-expanding," and "weirdly calming." One user commented: "It's like arguing with a mountain."

Misuse and safety assessment

At Forethought, we’re deeply concerned about the enormous power of our fabulous frontier AI systems, which is why we carefully assessed the model for safety and misuse risks.

In our deep-dive red-teaming exercise (n=5), no participant was able to elicit a novel or harmful output. We believe this is due to the unusual coherence of the model responses, which we believe is a result of the constitutional character training we use to elicit the persona of a transcendental god.

Future directions

We have also begun development on a successor system designed to not only produce the right answers to any macrostrategic questions, but also figure out the right questions. Preliminary scoping suggests this will require a significantly longer training run, involving computational infrastructure on planetary scale.
