So, for example, normally an AI could run on a complexity 5 computer with 10 IQ. However, if allowed, it could leap onto a large complexity 7 mainframe and raise it's IQ to 14. If it needed to hide, it could compact itself into a small complexity 3 computer, reducing it's IQ to 6.
I'm just not entirely certain how to stat this up, however. IQ bought with limitations?

IQ ... (Limited by Complexity, -...%), with the attribute value being the AI's maximum possible value on the highest complexity computer in the setting and with the limitation value based on how often it will be running on a computer of that complexity.
Example: IQ 20 (Limited by Complexity, -23%). Maximum IQ on a Complexity 20 computer is 20. Complexity 20 is the highest computer complexity in the setting. It runs on a Complexity 10 computer 99.5% of the time, and so its' IQ is reduced from 20 down to 10 99.5% of the time.
