Unlocking Future AI Potential: Measuring Task Length for AI Success
In our latest research, we propose a groundbreaking metric to evaluate AI agents: the length of tasks they can autonomously complete. Our findings reveal an exponential increase in AI capabilities over the past six years, suggesting that:
- Doubling Every 7 Months: Task completion time horizons for AI agents have consistently doubled, indicating rapid advancement.
- Predictive Insights: If trends continue, we anticipate AI systems will handle month-long projects independently within the next decade.
Why does this matter? Understanding task duration rather than just performance offers clearer insights into real-world applicability. Current frontier AIs excel at short tasks but struggle with complex, long-duration ones.
We invite the community to build upon our findings! All analysis code is available on GitHub.
