THE FUTURE PAGE How far the machines have got https://futurepage.net/ THE EDGE TODAY, 2026-10-27 Every frontier this page is watching, and the furthest anyone has got on it. Each number was true on the day it was written down. The whole history of any of them, with what it counts and how it is read, is at https://futurepage.net/f/NNNN - where NNNN is the four-digit id in the left-hand column below. 0001 The longest task an AI can finish on its own 1,045 minutes - set 2026-04-07 - claude-mythos-preview-early 0002 Open problems in mathematics solved 4.4 per cent - set 2026-09-29 - GPT-6.1 Sol 0003 Unsolved integer sequences worked out 29.9 per cent - set 2026-05-28 - Claude Opus 4.8 0005 Real software issues resolved 83.5 per cent - set 2026-04-16 - Claude Opus 4.7 0006 Questions answered without inventing an answer 76.0 per cent - set 2026-09-30 - Gemini 4 Argon 0007 Chess puzzles solved 76.0 per cent - set 2026-10-15 - GPT-6 Astra 0008 The largest training run ever disclosed 9 x 10^26 operations - set 2026-09-03 - GPT-6 Astra in 1993: 2 x 10^13 operations - TD-Gammon, IBM - about 45 trillion times 0009 The largest training cluster ever disclosed 200,000 chips - set 2025-07-09 - Grok 4 0010 The fastest computer on earth 2,198 petaflops - set 2026-06-22 - LineShine in 1993: 59.70 gigaflops - CM-5/1024, Thinking Machines Corporation - about 37 million times 0016 The most arithmetic per watt 73.282 gigaflops per watt - set 2025-11-18 - KAIROS 0017 The largest prime number ever found 41,024,320 digits - set 2024-10-12 - GIMPS in 1993: 227,832 digits - Cray-2 - about 180 times 0018 The largest quantum volume 8,388,608 quantum volume - set 2025-05-12 - Quantinuum H2 0019 The smallest a gigabyte of Wikipedia has ever been made 91,778,237 bytes - set 2026-10-14 - ex-girlfriend 1.0 0020 The most data ever read and written in a second 26,888 gibibytes a second - set 2026-06-12 - SCNet AICS-A 0021 The most connections ever followed in a second 410,266 billion edges a second - set 2025-11-18 - eos-dfw 0022 The most digits of pi ever computed 314,000,000,000,000 digits - set 2025-11-19 - StorageReview in 1993: 2,260,000,000 digits - a homemade parallel computer - about 140 thousand times 0023 The highest rating any chess program holds 3,650 Elo - set 2026-09-23 - Stockfish 19 64-bit 4CPU 0024 The most transactions a database has ever run in a minute 2,055,076,649 transactions a minute - set 2025-01-27 - Alibaba Cloud PolarDB Limitless 0025 The most storage operations ever done in a second 30,002,765 operations a second - set 2025-02-25 - FlashNexus FN8200 0026 Assembly mistakes spotted in a photograph 83.3 per cent - set 2026-09-22 - Claude Opus 5.5 0027 Programs rebuilt without seeing the code 77.4 per cent - set 2026-09-22 - Claude Opus 5.5 0028 The most ordinary work one computer can do 1,660 times the reference machine - set 2026-06-29 - Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 V3 0029 The most questions ever answered against a hundred terabytes of data 653,611,141 queries an hour - set 2026-04-18 - Tencent Cloud Data Lake Compute 0030 The least time ever taken to train a four-hundred-billion-parameter model 7.07 minutes - set 2026-06-16 - Azure GB200 (128x NVIDIA GB200 NVL72) 0031 The most tokens a seventy-billion-parameter model can produce in a second 1,136,100 tokens a second - set 2026-09-16 - CoreWeave GB300 NVL72 (72x NVIDIA GB300) 0032 Theorems a computer has checked 291,178 theorems - set 2026-10-23 - Mathlib, the Lean 4 mathematical library 0033 The most arithmetic ever sustained on scattered data 22.0 petaflops - set 2026-06-22 - LineShine 0034 The fewest mistakes a machine makes transcribing a meeting 6.08 per cent of words wrong - set 2026-09-04 - zoom/scribe_v2_pro Checked between 2026-10-22 and 2026-10-27; each frontier's page says exactly when. Each frontier's page also says when its own source last measured the thing it counts, which is not the day we looked: today those dates run from 2025-02-25 to 2026-10-26. A number that has not moved because nobody has beaten it is a different fact from a number nobody has measured since, and that date is what tells them apart. 6 frontiers are no longer here, because they finished. Nothing is deleted: the last number stands, at https://futurepage.net/retired. Every reading ever recorded, as a tab-separated file, one per year: https://futurepage.net/readings/2026.tsv Readings as they happen: https://futurepage.net/feed.xml, which is dated by the last reading rather than by the build, so a day on which nothing moved tells a subscriber nothing. This site is served entirely from a CDN edge, with no origin server and no code in the request path. Every page is a static HTML document under 14 KB with no images, no stylesheet and no script - so the document is the whole page, and there is nothing else to fetch. This file is that site in plain text.
