AI Breakdown

Your Cheapest AI Employee Just Got a Speed Limit

Episode Notes

𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐈 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. 😳

The argument for pacing the frontier was not a philosophy paper. It was a costing: a more capable rogue system could do a hundred billion dollars of damage inside a year.

This week on 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, the theme continues:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 $𝟐𝟎 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞.

Here is what it means for the tool on your desk. A slower frontier does not mean a slower agent. The open models are only about six months behind the closed ones, and that gap keeps closing while everyone argues. The cheap thing you can afford gets relatively better, not worse.

Inside the episode:

🔴  A new benchmark on real private codebases: best score just 𝟑𝟖.𝟖%
 

🔴 Six popular leaderboards had wrong answer keys. Stop letting one pick your tools
 

🔴 Cursor Projects: agents that remember last quarter, 𝟑𝟎% more merged work

Your move: take the three jobs you actually bought AI to do. Write each as a test with a right answer. Rerun it the next time a tool claims it is better. Replace someone else's leaderboard with your own. 🎙️
