Intelligence Impact Quotient (IIQ): A Framework for Measuring Organizational AI Impact

The Intelligence Impact Quotient (IIQ) is a composite metric intended to quantify the depth to which AI systems are integrated into organizational work and their impact. Rather than treating access counts or aggregate token volume as sufficient evidence of impact, IIQ combines a novelty-weighted, time-decayed token stock with usage frequency, a grace-period recency gate, organizational leverage, task complexity, and autonomy. The formulation produces a raw Intelligence Adoption Index (IAI) and a normalized 0-1000 IIQ index for comparison between heterogeneous users and units. We also derive sub-daily update rules and a bounded interpretation layer for estimated efficiency and financial impact. The paper positions IIQ as a deployment-oriented measurement framework: a formal proposal for tracking AI embedding in workflows, not a direct measure of model capability or a substitute for causal productivity evaluation. Synthetic scenarios illustrate how the revised metric distinguishes between frequent low-leverage use, semantically repetitive prompting, and more autonomous, higher-consequence AI-assisted work.

Llama-3.1-Sherkala-8B-Chat: An Open Large Language Model for Kazakh

Llama-3.1-Sherkala-8B-Chat, or Sherkala-Chat (8B) for short, is a state-of-the-art instruction-tuned open generative large language model (LLM) designed for Kazakh. Sherkala-Chat (8B) aims to enhance the inclusivity of LLM advancements for Kazakh speakers. Adapted from the LLaMA-3.1-8B model, Sherkala-Chat (8B) is trained on 45.3B tokens across Kazakh, English, Russian, and Turkish. With 8 billion parameters, it demonstrates strong knowledge and reasoning abilities in Kazakh, significantly outperforming existing open Kazakh and multilingual models of similar scale while achieving competitive performance in English. We release Sherkala-Chat (8B) as an open-weight instruction-tuned model and provide a detailed overview of its training, fine-tuning, safety alignment, and evaluation, aiming to advance research and support diverse real-world applications.
