fuck your motivation. If you ever worked hard, or wanted to achieve something big, you can tell motivation is a SUPER ephemeral state that you randomly encounter yourself in and that you need hard discipline always

Was revisiting this lecture today, proactive agents are something that I'm really interested in. Started really thinking about it ~1.5 years ago, when I was doing growvy (xitter.gq/GadiBorovich/status/20…) and wanted this kind of always-on feeling that @bot, dots and many others are trying to achieve today.
I think we are still not close to get it, how can proactive be a "routine" or a "schedule" which is at high level just a cron job that wakes the agent up, I did like the webhooks that grok bot has, same as I thought for growvy, but thats still not enough. Outside coding, the models are still dumb, forget a lot of things when multi tasking/long tasking. I encountered myself a lot of times with my group of bots having to remember THEM about something they should have known.
How do always-on, proactive agents like @Bot work?

companies are defaulting to recording everything
most of what’s recorded isn’t shared
we shipped folders in Circleback to fix that
Since ~3 weeks ago, I would say that 80% of my workflow goes through grok bot, it's just a super convenient UI and experience. For both work and personal stuff. I didn't try claude duet yet

Been using @eve since v0.11.10 when I built an internal agent for @circlebackai , was really bad. The amount of improvement they did is huge!

would be really cool to get Neuralink soon, plus API access so I can log every thought, conversation and neuron firing
Early Neuralink speech restoration data:
We are enabling speech to text and voice at conversational rates in participants with ALS. One participant achieved 75 WPM at 5.8% WER on a 125k-word vocabulary in their first week.

Announcing Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, featuring 2 new benchmarks and 3 upgrades. For the first time, the majority of the Index is built on private datasets
The Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index is our composite measure of model capabilities across tasks reflecting real-world usage today. v5 is our biggest upgrade since v4 launched in January. With v5, 60% of the Index is now based on evaluations with private test sets or held-out answers.
Alongside Intelligence Index v5, we’re launching the Artificial Analysis Progress Index v1, which tracks model capability over time on one continuous scale.
New to the Intelligence Index:
➤ FrontierCode 2.0: Cognition's newly-launched private benchmark of real-world coding tasks, graded on whether a repository maintainer would merge the agent's change
➤ Terminal-Bench-Science: 70 agentic scientific research tasks, run in a terminal environment
Upgraded:
➤ HLE-Diamond (replacing Humanity's Last Exam): a refined 1,000-question version of Humanity's Last Exam, split evenly between reasoning and knowledge questions
➤ AA-Omniscience v1.1: An updated dataset with saturated and public set questions removed, new questions added, and ambiguous or erroneous questions revised
➤ CritPt v2: a private, 40-question hard subset of CritPt v2, revised by the CritPt authors and run with a code-execution tool
Staying in the Index: AA-Briefcase, AutomationBench-AA, GDP.pdf and Terminal-Bench 4.0
Removed from the Index: GDPval-AA v2.1, SciCode, and AA-LCR v1.1
Key results:
➤ Claude Opus 5.5 (max) leads at 58, ahead of GPT-6 Astra (max, 57) and GPT-6.1 Sol (max, 55): Anthropic and OpenAI hold the top five models. Gemini 4 Argon (high) is next at 50
➤ The open weights gap widens from 3 points to 12: Kimi K3.1 Pro (weights not yet released) is the top open weights model at 46. Among released weights, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max) and GLM-5.3 (max) lead at 32 - 26 points behind the leader and below Claude Haiku 5.5 (max, 36)
➤ Cost per task varies by more than 13x among the leading models: of the 10 highest-scoring models shown, GPT-6.1 Terra (max) is the cheapest at $0.96 per Intelligence Index task and Claude Fable 5.1 (max) the most expensive at $13.04
