worawit chutrakunwanit/Getty Images The world of artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been preoccupied with advancing generative AI beyond simple tests that AI models easily pass. The famed Turing Test has been "beaten" in some sense, and controversy rages over whether the newest models are being built to game the benchmark tests that measure performance. The problem, say scholars at Google's DeepMind unit, is not the tests themselves but the limited way AI models are developed. The data

In the coming years, agents are widely expected to take over more and more chores on behalf of humans, including using computers and smartphones. For now, though, they’re too error prone to be much use. A new agent called S2, created by the startup Simular AI, combines frontier models with models specialized for using computers. The agent achieves state-of-the-art performance on tasks like using apps and manipulating files—and suggests that turning to different models in different situations ma
