FWIW I believe we can hit AGI! but I think at this point it’s clear that benchmarks are ~meaningless. LLMs are spiky / alien intelligences which don’t map to our own expectations; the existence of a benchmark creates a dataset to hill climb & RL is really not generalizing well.

I’d go out on a limb and say astra’s ability at graduate level math will have ~0 bearing on its general reasoning capabilities; we’ll all acclimate being tired of its “neuralese” and more surprising mistakes.

I think we need a true, step change advance in model architecture, but it’s hard to see how the current frontier labs can do that because of golden handcuffs / innovators dilemma
