RSI Ratchet, a claim-level field guide to AI limits
A research catalog that tracks what language models can and cannot do through scoped claims, sources, techniques, and review status.
Field notes
RSI Ratchet separates broad capability topics from the individual claims made about them, then attaches sources, counterevidence, review labels, and proposed techniques. The visible catalog contains 34 capabilities, 167 sources, and 155 techniques; 82 claims are marked as reviewed by AI, while the remainder include a person’s review. Its examples cover passage-position effects, constrained interfaces for coding agents, and scaffolding changes that reportedly improved benchmark results.
