Prediction: Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

Reasoning

Outcome depends on the future AI-accelerated timeline, which has not finished.

    “in 10 months we’ve gone from 3% to 50% on this task. And I think in another year we’ll probably be at 90%.”

    Amodei said that, after progress from 3% to 50% on SWE-bench in 10 months, state-of-the-art models would probably be at about 90% in another year, while adding that he did not know and it might be less.

  5. Mostly true Prediction 11 November 2024
    “I would guess a year from now, the models can do this very, very reliably.”

    Amodei guessed that by about November 2025, AI models would be able to perform computer-use tasks very, very reliably.
