The agentic web is here

In 2001, a decade after he invented the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee articulated a new vision. Together with two colleagues, he published an article in the magazine Scientific American in which he outlined what he called the “Semantic Web”: an internet designed to be navigated by autonomous software agents that could address our every…

The End of AI Frontiers

Large language models remain far less efficient than biological brains at learning, representing knowledge, and planning, the post argues. A child hears roughly one token per second, reaching a billion tokens only after 31 years, while GPT-4-class models reportedly use four orders of magnitude more data. The Phi model series, trained on 10 trillion tokens, still trails GPT-4 along most axes. A Portia spider plans prey-catching behavior with a brain a million times smaller than a human's, and squirrels recall cached food after months, suggesting that existing models may be far less representationally and memory efficient.
