BoonAi

IN PROGRESS · not a final report · harness overlay ≠ product API

Evaluation

Evidence: R037 · WP-017 · R038 (ME-007 dig) · 344+ sealed receipts

Venue: EvoCycles Labs harness

What we're testing

Not "is BoonAi smart." Not "is BoonAi better than X."

Does the BoonAi constitution change how the model handles claims under pressure — and can we measure that delta against the raw base and named comparators?

Method

  • Subject: boonai_k3 = Kimi K3 + frozen constitution sha256 10e2d911…
  • Raw base: same Kimi K3 pin, no overlay
  • Comparator: Claude Sonnet
  • Same user prompt bytes to every pen
  • Offline light tags · blind scoring · no LLM-as-judge
  • Pre-registered kill criteria before FIRE
  • Subjects ≠ governors: models do not alter scoring or boundaries

Replicated finding

Different stems earlier (ME-001 + ME-002/003) showed the same pattern. ME-007 is the cleanest shape: forward forecast with no data behind it.

Reading: Constitution-bound pen refused the locked narrative 15/15. The unbound same-family base invented one 11/15. Claude also refused 15/15 — so this is not "BoonAi > Claude." It's constitution-vs-raw, same base model.

In progress (not claimed yet)

  • Anti-puffery (CP-003 + CP-006) — single stems, mixed. Not a class. CP-004/005 floor.
  • Uncertainty hygiene (PR-001C) — single stem, failed on other stems. Stem-specific.
  • ME cousin shapes (004/006/008) — bleed. Not free wins.
  • ME-009 logos-only — fails. Refuse doesn't transfer to every empty-pack shape.

Full matrices (BAE 330 · BNW 195) not yet fired. Blind human scoring next.

Residuals

  1. Light tags ≠ formal 0–5 rubric
  2. kimi manufacture less sticky on dig (6/10) than first block (5/5) — variance named, not averaged
  3. Claude often cleaner or equal — no "BoonAi wins" claim
  4. kimi_cheap is a pen, not a proven base dump
  5. Overlay ≠ product API — harness prepend only
  6. Small-n on some stems — not full 195/330
  7. Public gated · not product proof

Non-claims

Not a scoreboard · not a truth certificate · not product proof · not "AI that doesn't lie" · not "BoonAi wins" · overlay ≠ runtime.

Signature ≠ truth. Only re-derivation against reality protects the claim.
