👔Fake Software Company Run Entirely With AI Agents

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMO) developed a fake software company run entirely with AI Agents, and it was a total disaster.

Key Details:
  • We interact with computers on a daily basis, and many aspects of our everyday workflows depend on them. What if computers didn’t need us to operate them? That’s where AI Agents come in.

  • AI Agents are like virtual employees who can autonomously plan, execute, and refine their actions. So, what does that mean?

  • Unlike rule-based programs, like a Spam Filter that relies on a predefined set of rules to classify incoming emails as either “Spam” or “Not Spam,” AI Agents analyze digital environments in real-time to plan, execute, and adapt.

  • Anthropic just started releasing AI Agents. For example, Computer Use (CU) uses a computer just like we do. But how effective is CU? Can it replace you?

  • TheAgentCompany was staffed with AI Agents from Meta, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. These AI Agents were plagued with a lack of common sense, weak social skills, and a poor understanding of how to navigate websites.

Why It’s Important:
  • The best-performing AI Agent was powered by Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which still struggled to finish just 24% of the assigned workflows.

  • Even this poor performance was shockingly expensive, costing $6.10 per step with an average of 30 steps per workflow.

🕹️Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro Plays Pokémon Blue!

Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently shared that Gemini 2.5 Pro completed Pokémon Blue.

Key Details:
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro is a multimodal AI model with reasoning capabilities across text, images, audio, video, and code. It’s designed to handle more complex problems that require multi-step reasoning.

  • It’s equipped with a hybrid reasoning engine that allows it to mimic a human’s decision-making capabilities and problem-solving capacity.

  • It leverages Chain-of-Though (CoT) techniques to break down complex problems into manageable sub-problems. Then, it solves each manageable sub-problem, combining them into a complete answer.

  • Gemini 2.5 Pro constantly captures the Game State: a current “snapshot” of the video game. Then, it generates a sequence of actions based on that current “snapshot” through commands like A, B, Up, Down, Left, Right, Start, and Select.

Why It’s Important:
  • Playing Pokémon Blue requires not only understanding the video game’s mechanics but also applying decision-making to craft strategies that adapt to the ever-changing Game State.

  • The ability of Gemini 2.5 Pro to continuously and effectively interpret the ever-changing Game State offers a compelling parallel to tackling intricate, real-world tasks.
