The Models in the Ecosystem
Different families, different training, different retrieval. The same company can look unlike itself.
The AI world is not one system. Open a dossier. Each family can describe the same company differently.
AIB measures configured APIs. A consumer app screenshot is not an API observation.
Multimodal model family (Ultra, Pro, Nano), December 2023. The Gemini API is not Google AI Overviews.
A separate model family with its own public chat and API. Different training, different refusals, different answers.
Open-weight lineage that other systems can run. Transport (including OpenRouter) is not a customer-facing engine.
Another frontier model in the ecosystem AIB can probe when a plan unlocks it.
Built around retrieval plus synthesis. Closer to AEO than to a parametric chat with no search.
AIB Classification: These tiers are an educational framework created by AIB to explain changes in AI capabilities. They are not an industry-standard classification and eras overlap.
Citations are ordinary editorial links to primary sources. They are not partnerships, sponsorships, or endorsements.
What does AI know about your organization?
History explains the ecosystem. An investigation shows where you sit inside it.
