KONA 1.0

EBM

Compare our EBM reasoning model against the latest frontier AI models. Enter a Sudoku or load a random hard puzzle.

Most AI models guess, backtrack, and get stuck. Kona evaluates the entire puzzle at once. Solved in seconds, Kona reveals the first glimpse of a self-aligning system and the road to AGI.

*To ensure we are testing the AI models ability to actually reason and self-align, we disabled code execution for both the EBM and LLMs. If you run these tests on public LLMs, rather than trying to reason through the puzzles themselves, they will run a brute-force search in Python to "cheat." Kona actually reasons through the Sudoku without access to code execution.
