The AI Futures project (team behind the AI 2027 paper) released an interactive quantitative takeoff model, calibrated to co-author Daniel Kokotajlo's median estimates (Aug 2026), that roughly matches the original AI 2027 scenario.

Key projected dates: Automated Coder (AC) arrives Dec 23, 2026; Superhuman AI Researcher (SAR) Jun 8, 2027; ASI Oct 14, 2027. Key parameters: 3.53x serial coding uplift as of Aug 2026, 2.6 months for that uplift to double, 3.97x ratio of top-to-median researcher value per experiment, β=0.317 returns to software R&D. ECI growth accelerates to 1.16x by Nov 2026. The site offers adjustable parameters and forecast probability distributions.
