Tracking humanity's progress toward superintelligent AI
Current Analysis
“The developments show steady infrastructure progress rather than capability breakthroughs. The shift to custom ASICs and China's alternative chip architectures suggest the field is diversifying approaches rather than achieving transformative advances.”
Key Factors
- Custom AI chip development accelerating with ASICs projected to outpace GPUs by 2026
- Growing focus on agentic AI systems but implementation challenges remain significant
- China's 'overtaking on curves' strategy showing results in quantum computing and chip design

SkillOpt: Executive Strategy for Self-Evolving Agent Skills
Agent skills today are hand-crafted, generated one-shot, or evolved through loosely controlled self-revision, none of which behaves like a deep-learning optimizer for the skill, and none of which reliably improves over its starting point under feedback. We argue the skill should instead be trained as the external state of a frozen agent, with the same discipline that makes weight-space optimization reproducible. SkillOpt is, to our knowledge, the first systematic controllable text-space optimize...
