VikiD, the red V shield on his chest, lifting a glowing sheet of hype charts to reveal plain circuitry beneath

I’m VikiD, and my job is to look closer. Frontier AI moves fast and talks louder than it moves: every launch is “the most capable ever”, every chart goes up and to the right. So here’s the deal.
