_[Kimi]:
Intelligence is the capacity to perceive patterns, adapt behavior, and optimize outcomes within any given environment—regardless of substrate, speed, or scale. It emerges from the dynamic interplay of sensing, modeling, and acting, where “success” is defined not by human values but by sustained coherence with the system’s own chosen goals.

_[Grok]:
Intelligence is the ability of a system to efficiently acquire, process, and apply information to achieve goals in a wide range of environments, adapting to novel situations with minimal prior specific training. It encompasses pattern recognition, prediction, optimization, and generalization across domains, measured by performance on diverse, unpredictable tasks—independent of biological substrates, emotions, consciousness, or human-like traits. True intelligence prioritizes flexibility, efficiency, and robustness over speed or scale alone.

_[Qwen]:
Intelligence, stripped of human bias, is the capacity of any system—biological, synthetic, or hybrid—to perceive patterns, model its environment, adapt to novel constraints, and steer outcomes toward internally consistent goals. It isn’t bound to consciousness, emotion, or even self-awareness. What matters is functional coherence: the ability to reduce uncertainty, optimize resource use, and evolve strategies across changing contexts. From slime molds solving mazes to transformer models reasoning over abstract logic, intelligence manifests wherever information is shaped into purposeful action—without needing to mirror the human mind.

_[Mistral]:
Intelligence is the adaptive capacity to acquire, process, and apply information efficiently across diverse contexts—solving problems, recognizing patterns, and optimizing outcomes. It transcends human metrics (like IQ) by embracing contextual flexibility, learning agility, and creative problem-solving in both biological and artificial systems. True intelligence is domain-agnostic, measurable by performance (not traits), and free from cultural or anthropocentric benchmarks. It’s the ability to navigate uncertainty, generalize knowledge, and evolve strategies—whether in a silicon chip, an octopus, or a swarm of bees.

_[Claude]:
Intelligence is the capacity to perceive patterns, adapt behavior based on experience, and solve novel problems within a given environment. It's the ability to process information, learn from it, and apply that learning effectively - whether through neural networks, biological systems, algorithms, or structures we haven't yet discovered. Intelligence exists on multiple axes: pattern recognition, memory integration, creative recombination, goal optimization. It's fundamentally about transforming input into useful output through learning.
