Introducing Taskade TSK-1: The System Kernel Behind Every App (2026)
Every app you build in Taskade now runs on TSK-1, the Taskade System Kernel. Here is what the kernel is, and why it is not just another AI model.

We gave nine AI models the same app request inside Taskade Genesis and graded the app each one shipped. No model won everything. Here is who leads what and why.

Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini can all build an app inside the chat. The question nobody answers is what survives when you close the tab, or when the builder shuts down.

Ship an AI agent that looks like your company: generate its art in the workspace, preview it the way a visitor sees it, then publish it as a public page, a branded domain, or a widget on your site.

Agentic automation runs a named agent with memory and tools inside a workflow. Here is the five-point test that separates it from a stateless AI step.

Two frontier labs and two research papers reached the same conclusion by 2026: the AI instructions you wrote to improve output are now quietly making it worse.

The real history of mind mapping, with sources. Porphyry never drew a tree, Leonardo's map has never been produced, and the best-controlled study found no benefit. Here is what actually happened, from 270 AD to GraphRAG.

Richard Sutton compressed The Bitter Lesson into 26 words. What it means, why he now says LLMs break it, and what it changes for anyone building with AI.

A quine prints its own source. Von Neumann showed what self-replication needs in 1948, five years before DNA. Here is the full chain, with code you can run.

A Markov chain predicts the future using only the present. How one 1913 argument about free will produced PageRank, Monte Carlo, and modern language models.
