Interesting position paper on agentic AI as a foreseeable pathway to AGI.
(bookmark it)
There has been strong debate on whether a larger single model get us there or a multi-agent system.
The authors argue that agentic AI systems, not bigger foundation models on their own, are the most foreseeable route to AGI.
Formalizes what "agentic" actually contributes beyond the base model: memory, reasoning, tool use, self-improvement, alignment.
Each is a separable axis with its own bottlenecks (long-horizon coherence, credit assignment, safety auditing).
They argues that none of those bottlenecks get solved by another order of magnitude on pretraining compute.
