AI IQ: 110 — Informed
Solid fundamentals. You speak the language of AI.
Overview
You have a working understanding of AI fundamentals — you know the key architectures, training paradigms, and can follow technical discussions. You're ahead of most people, but the cutting edge of research and the deeper theoretical underpinnings still have room to grow.
Strengths
- Solid grasp of core ML concepts
- Understanding of major architectures
- Can follow technical AI discussions
- Good intuition for how models work
Weaknesses
- Cutting-edge research concepts are still fuzzy
- Optimization theory needs deepening
- May miss nuances in alignment and scaling
Tips for Growth
- Read recent papers from NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR to stay current
- Study optimization fundamentals — SGD, Adam, learning rate schedules
- Explore the alignment research space (RLHF, constitutional AI, Goodhart's Law)
- Try implementing a transformer from scratch to deepen architectural understanding
