aiBlue Core™ — Validation & Benchmark Programs

ndependent Evaluation Pathways for Cognitive Architecture Research aiBlue maintains two structured evaluation programs that allow qualified institutions, research teams, and senior practitioners to examine the behavior of the aiBlue Core™ Cognitive Architecture Layer under controlled, reproducible conditions.

The goal is not to test “performance” in the traditional sense. It is to evaluate reasoning structure, stability, drift resistance, and architecture-level behavior when the Core runs on GPT-4.1 compared to other leading LLMs. Both programs operate under strict methodology and transparent scientific standards.

Each program serves a different purpose: one oriented toward industry benchmarking, and the other toward formal research in cognitive architectures.

Two Complementary Evaluation Programs

1. Market Benchmark Protocol (MBP)

For industry professionals comparing Core vs. raw-model cognition

The Market Benchmark Protocol enables evaluators to test:

  • Guided reasoning behavior of the Core on GPT-4.1
  • Cognitive stability under stress, ambiguity, and constraint load
  • Interpretive accuracy in operational and strategic tasks
  • Drift patterns in competing LLMs under identical conditions
  • Architecture-induced consistency, safety, and reasoning structure

Evaluators compare the Core against any LLM (Claude, Gemini, GPT variants, DeepSeek, Llama, etc.), always using:

  • Brand-new, zero-history sessions
  • Identical prompts across all models
  • Controlled constraints (token limits, no memory, unified rules)
  • Standardized scoring matrix

The MBP is the first market-standard benchmarking protocol for assessing reasoning behavior in real-world environments.

2. Independent Evaluation Protocol (IEP)

For researchers, universities, and cognitive-science teams

The Independent Evaluation Protocol provides a deeper research pathway for:

  • Cognitive-science groups
  • AI safety institutes
  • Enterprise R&D labs
  • Universities and research institutions
  • Advanced LLM engineering teams

The IEP includes access to:

  • Complete Stress Test Library
  • The 8 Evaluation Dimensions
  • Baseline, Stress, and Drift analysis
  • Multi-document reasoning tests
  • Execution layers (4.1-mini / 4.1-large)
  • Scientific reporting templates
  • Optional debrief with aiBlue Labs

IEP participants may publish findings after confidentiality review.

The aiBlue Core™

Who Can Apply:

This program is invitation-only and was designed for teams who need more than a polished demo or a clever prompt. It is for organizations that depend on AI reasoning in contexts where failure has a real cost — strategic, financial, educational, social or political.
