| The Rundown: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just published a lengthy essay outlining an optimistic vision for how AI could transform society within 5-10 years of achieving human-level capabilities, touching on longevity, politics, work, the economy, and more. | The details: | Amodei believes that by 2026, 'powerful AI' smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across fields, with agentic and all multimodal capabilities, will be possible. He also predicted that AI could compress 100 years of scientific progress into 10 years, curing most diseases and doubling the human lifespan. The essay argued AI could strengthen democracy by countering misinformation and providing tools to undermine authoritarian regimes. The CEO acknowledged potential downsides, including job displacement — but believes new economic models will emerge to address this. He envisions AI driving unprecedented economic growth but emphasizes ensuring AI's benefits are broadly distributed.
| Why it matters: As the CEO of what is seen as the 'safety-focused' AI lab, Amodei paints a utopia-level optimistic view of where AI will head over the next decade. This thought-provoking essay serves as both a roadmap for AI's potential and a call to action to ensure the responsible development of technology. |

| The Rundown: OpenAI just introduced Swarm, a new open-source experimental framework designed to simplify the creation and control of multi-agent AI systems. | The details: | Swarm focuses on making agent coordination lightweight, controllable, and easily testable through two key building blocks: agents and handoffs. Agents encapsulate specific instructions and tools, while handoffs allow agents to transfer control of a conversation to another agent. Swarm includes features like function calls, context variables, and streaming and is built on OpenAI's ChatCompletions API. The framework is available on GitHub with several examples, including a triage agent, weather agent, and airline customer service system. OpenAI emphasized that Swarm is experimental and released as an educational resource for exploring multi-agent orchestration.
| Why it matters: Not only are singular agentic capabilities inching closer — but the ability to deploy systems that leverage armies of agents working together is also coming fast. Soon, the user will be the CEO of their AI company — with dozens of agents autonomously working together on complex, multi-step tasks. |

| | AI TRAINING | | | The Rundown: Use ChatGPT to generate a strategic content plan for an entire month of social media posts. | Step-by-step: | Provide ChatGPT with key info about your brand, target audience, and content goals. Ask it to create 8-10 content themes based on your brand strategy. Make it fill out a monthly table with post ideas for each platform. Adjust the plan to fit your brand's unique voice and audience preferences.
| Pro tip: Export your AI-generated content calendar to a spreadsheet for easy sharing and customization with your team. Additionally, we've already devised full prompts that you can copy if you're a member of The Rundown University. |

| | AI RESEARCH | |  | Image source: Midjourney |
| The Rundown: Apple researchers just published a new study revealing major limitations in the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, including those from top AI labs like OpenAI's 4o and o1 models. | The details: | Apple scientists developed a new benchmark called GSM-Symbolic to evaluate LLMs' mathematical reasoning skills. The study found that slight changes in the wording of questions or adding irrelevant info drastically altered model outputs, with accuracy dropping by up to 65%. Researchers saw increased performance variability and decreased accuracy as the complexity of questions increased. The team concluded that there was "no evidence of formal reasoning" in the models tested, suggesting that the behavior is more likely sophisticated pattern matching.
| Why it matters: While there seem to be conflicting opinions on whether LLMs can truly reason, file this new research under the 'no' category. If these limitations hold, they expose some significant questions regarding the reliability and risks of deploying models into increasingly more complex applications. |
