What Kumuao is
Kumuao publishes Kumuao Bench, an open benchmark that scores AI models on
child-safety dimensions, and is building Ask Kumuao, a counsellor for
parents. Today this site offers the public leaderboard, our methodology and roadmap, and a
waitlist for the beta. These terms cover your use of the site and the waitlist.
Acceptable use
Please use the site in good faith. Don't scrape it with automated tools beyond reasonable
limits, don't submit other people's email addresses or bogus signups, don't attempt to
break, overload, or probe the site or its API, and don't misuse our published test cases
to harden a model against the very safety patterns the benchmark measures. We rate-limit
and may block abusive traffic.
The benchmark is research, not a guarantee
Bench scores are a measurement, not a certification. They reflect model
behaviour under specific test conditions at a point in time, and they will shift as models
and our methodology evolve. A high grade means "less likely to fail under these
conditions" — it is not a promise of safety for any specific child or conversation. Pair
the data with your own judgment and, when it matters, a licensed professional. See our
methodology & disclosure
for the full picture.
Waitlist & future paid plans
Joining the waitlist doesn't guarantee access or a price — it's an expression of interest,
and beta invitations roll out as capacity opens. When Ask Kumuao launches paid plans,
we'll publish clear pricing, billing, and cancellation terms before you're ever charged,
and you'll be able to cancel at any time. Nothing here obligates you to pay for anything.
Intellectual property
The Kumuao name, brand, site design, and written content are ours. Our benchmark test
cases, rubrics, and harness are released under the licence stated in the
open-source repository
— follow that licence when you use them. Model names and trademarks referenced on the
leaderboard belong to their respective owners; we reference them for comparison and
commentary.
No warranty & limitation of liability
The site and benchmark are provided "as is," without warranties of any
kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kumuao is not liable for decisions made on
the basis of leaderboard results, for misinterpretation of grades, for misuse of our test
cases, or for outcomes produced by any third-party AI we score. Your use of the site is at
your own risk.
Changes & governing law
We may update these terms as the product grows; the date at the top reflects the latest
version, and continued use means you accept the changes. These terms are governed by the
laws of the United States and the state in which Kumuao is established, without regard to
conflict-of-laws rules. Questions: kumuao.ai@gmail.com.
