10²⁸ FLOP training run completed Not Yet Testable
March 2027 Updated 2026-09-06 50% confidence in assessment

Agent-2 trained at 2×10²⁸ FLOP (Apr 2026 – Mar 2027), representing a 1000× increase over GPT-4 scale.

Agent-0 training reaches 10²⁷ FLOP Behind
Training completion: May 2025; public availability: late 2025 Updated 2026-09-11 60% confidence in assessment

OpenBrain's latest public model—Agent-0—was trained with 10²⁷ FLOP.

AI substantially outperforms the best humans across cognitive domains Not Yet Testable
December 2027, racing branch Updated 2026-09-06 90% confidence in assessment

Artificial superintelligence is much better than the best human at every cognitive task.

Frontier model uses daily weight updates / online learning Not Yet Testable
January 2027 Updated 2026-09-06 20% confidence in assessment

Agent-2 is effectively 'online learning,' in that it's built to never really finish training. Every day, the weights get updated to the latest version, trained on more data generated by the previous version the previous day.

High-bandwidth non-text reasoning (neuralese) deployed Emerging
Early 2027 Updated 2026-09-06 35% confidence in assessment

One such breakthrough is augmenting the AI's text-based scratchpad (chain of thought) with a higher-bandwidth thought process (neuralese recurrence and memory).

IDA achieves superhuman performance at coding Emerging
Early 2027 Updated 2026-09-06 40% confidence in assessment

Now, the models have become sufficiently good at verifying more subjective things, allowing the use of IDA to improve the model at many tasks.

Models shift to continuous/iterative training Confirmed
Late 2025 Updated 2026-09-06 90% confidence in assessment

By this point 'finishes training' is a bit of a misnomer; models are frequently updated to newer versions trained on additional data or partially re-trained to patch some weaknesses.

OSWorld benchmark reaches 65% by mid-2025 Confirmed
Mid 2025 (65%), Early 2026 (80%) Updated 2026-09-06 90% confidence in assessment

Specifically, we forecast that they score 65% on the OSWorld benchmark of basic computer tasks (compared to 38% for Operator and 70% for a typical skilled non-expert human).
