VISION

Roadmap to AGI

From puzzle solving to general intelligence. A five-year journey guided by 140 million years of ant evolution.

We Are Here

2025
Phase 1: Narrow Domain Mastery
25
Narrow Domain Mastery
NOW

Master single-domain problems. Prove the architecture works.

Hunt BTC - Puzzle #71 (7.1 BTC)
106 actors operational
Gateway API + TypeDB Cloud
Growth Gate 3 (1,000 ants)

Success metric: Solve puzzle OR prove architecture at scale

26
Multi-Domain Transfer

Patterns learned in one domain transfer to others.

Launch AGI Trader mission
Cross-mission pattern transfer
10,000+ actor population
First superhighway inheritance

Success metric: Patterns from Hunt BTC accelerate AGI Trader

27
Self-Modifying Castes

Colony evolves its own agent types based on mission needs.

Emergent caste specialization
Genome mutation and selection
Colony creates new agent types
100,000+ actor population

Success metric: Colony creates agent type we didn't design

28
Colony Self-Modeling

Colony develops understanding of its own architecture.

Self-awareness of colony state
Predictive colony modeling
Self-optimization
Colony-level reasoning

Success metric: Colony predicts and optimizes own behavior

29+
General Intelligence

The colony demonstrates general problem-solving ability.

Novel problem solving
Abstract reasoning
Domain-agnostic learning
Self-improvement cycles

Success metric: Colony solves problems we couldn't anticipate

Safety at Every Stage

Growth gates ensure we can observe and correct before scaling. We don't race to AGI. We walk there safely.

Each scale increase requires passing safety checks

Human Oversight

Critical decisions require human approval

"What if AGI doesn't come from making a single model smarter, but from making many simple agents work together?"

140 million years of ant evolution suggests the answer is collective intelligence. We're testing that hypothesis.
