Monthly RSI general-intelligence tracker, September 2026. Seven areas each show a flat January 1 to September month-end line at 1 of 5: seed research intelligence; self-understanding and modification; trustworthy evaluation; meta-improvement; fresh external information; resources and compounding; alignment and control. Narrow-intelligence advances have zero score impact. The shared evidence scale is 1 unestablished, 2 initial general evidence, 3 repeatable, 4 independently robust, 5 sustained general solution. This is a provisional, limited-coverage retrospective public-evidence review, not a claim that AI research made no progress. The companion report contains the rubric, 18 components, repeatable searches and source decisions.
