Microsoft scores 40 of 100. Its strongest evidence since the September 29 order: a newsroom post or official account uses the term. How we score

Evidence by level

How far it has gone

Each step is worth 20 points, and one use is enough to reach it. The score is the highest step reached, so posts that still say AI don't lower it.

Hand-checked, Oct 12, 2026. An Oct. 12 post on the Official Microsoft Blog by Scott Guthrie opens with "era of Super Intelligence" but says AI throughout, and Nadella wrote an Oct. 10 essay about models as insider risks in the Super Intelligence era. Official Microsoft Blog
