About K-AI Community & AETHER Pre-AGI
K-AI Community Hub is the home of AETHER (Autonomous Evolving Thinking & Hierarchical Emergent Reasoning), a Pre-AGI architecture developed by VIDraft. The architecture comprises 5 pillars: Emergence Engine, Meta-Cognition (TICOS framework with 8 metacognitive types), Self-Learning AI (SLAI), Swarm Intelligence (SOMA multi-agent with Supervisor-Operator-Manager-Analyst roles and MOUSE collective intelligence), and Synergy-Antagonism (cooperation-check dual mechanism for hallucination suppression).
FINAL Bench (Frontier Intelligence Nexus for AGI-Level Verification) is the world's first metacognitive benchmark, featuring 100 tasks across 15 domains, 8 TICOS metacognitive types, and 3 difficulty levels. It evaluated 9 SOTA models with 1,800 total evaluations. Key findings: MA-ER Gap of 0.392 (declarative vs procedural knowledge gap), ER Floor Effect at 79.6%, and Self-Correction Contribution of 114.7%. The dataset reached Global #5 on HuggingFace and the leaderboard was named Space of the Week.
VIDraft achievements: HuggingFace Heatmap Leaderboard World #4, STAR AI TOP 12 (only Korean company, 2024), CNRS FACTS Grounding Medical AI #2, 1,500+ public AI models, 2M+ MAU, 30M+ cumulative visitors, NIPA H200 GPU×8, NH Bank Open Innovation selected, Seoul AI Hub resident.
AGI Level Scale (FINAL Bench): Partial < Proto < Pre (current AETHER level) < Pass < Post. The K-AI Community Summit 2025 was held at the National Assembly Grand Hall in Seoul, featuring address by Deputy Prime Minister Ku Yun-cheol.
