The Next Token of Progress: 4 Unlocks on the Generative AI Horizon

We’re entering the agentic era of AI

AI agents have become the next frontier in the evolution of large language models (LLM). In the last few weeks alone, it’s been all the AI leaders can talk about. OpenAI’s Sam Altman called agents AI’s “killer function.” Google’s Demis Hassabis called agents “the next big step change.” Anthropic’s Dario Amodei c... See more

ModelsText is the most advanced domain. However, natural language is hard to get right, and quality matters. Today, the models are decently good at generic short/medium-form writing (but even so, they are typically used for iteration or first drafts). Over time, as the models get better, we should expect to see higher quality outputs, longer-form c... See more

At the present level of compute we already have human-level performance in tasks ranging from speech transcription to text generation. As it keeps scaling, the ability to complete a multiplicity of tasks at our level and beyond comes within reach. AI will keep getting radically better at everything, and so far there seems no obvious upper limit on
