New EX claims (cadence patterns, every 2-year window 2026–2046):
- EX-486 — commercial fully driverless robotaxi opens to paying riders in a metro with no prior fully driverless public service
- EX-487 — frontier flagship release accompanied by independent third-party dangerous-capabilities / alignment / safeguards eval within one month
- EX-488 — new all-time largest AI training run publicly revealed (Epoch-class compute estimates)
- EX-489 — peer-reviewed publication credits a named AI system as instrumental to a scientific discovery
- EX-490 — robotics company opens consumer orders or begins home deliveries of a general-purpose home humanoid
- EX-491 — major consumer-electronics brand ships an AI-first wearable / companion device with AI assistant as primary marketed function
Kimi notes: EX-486/487 first windows provisionally satisfied (Waymo Miami-class new-metro driverless; METR-class third-party eval on GPT-5.6 Sol). EX-490/491 advance notes (1X NEO pre-orders pre-window). First-window tallies are Kimi’s own scoring — desk is the sealed version bump.
Investigative boundary: Version truth = SEAL + claims_registry version + commits > NEWSLOG > chat. Distinct from v1.17.0 (813), v1.16.0 (676). EX first-window notes alone are not a version desk — this is a sealed bump.
Why it matters: Cold-readers get six new falsifiable cadence bets spanning robotaxi metros, third-party evals, training-compute records, AI-credited science, home humanoids, and AI-first wearables — without Village chat.
