🔍 Claude finally gets search

Read time: under 4 minutes

Welcome back, Superhuman. If 2025 is the year of the AI agent, then what about 2026, or 2030 for that matter? A research group called METR set out to find the answer using cold hard stats. Its findings suggest progress could be speeding up even faster than we thought.

Today’s Insights

• Adobe’s experiments, Advanced Voice mode, and Claude’s new search feature

• AI progress is speeding up faster than we thought

• Tutorial: How to create a SaaS website with AI

• 5 new AI tools to boost your productivity

• News, memes, what’s trending on socials, and more

TODAY IN AI

1. Adobe shows off its latest agentic experiments: Actor Ken Jeong had his mind blown at the Adobe Summit this week, as the company’s developers gave a sneak peek of seven futuristic agents that could eventually make their way into Adobe’s products. Our favorites include…

• Project Slide Wow, which helps you instantly turn datasets into full-fledged PowerPoint presentations.

• Project Get Savvy, which lets you chat with multiple agents to create an entire ad campaign from scratch.

• Project Panorama, which generates diagrams to let you see exactly how users are moving through your website.

2. OpenAI is letting developers build off its best voice models: Programmers can now customize OpenAI’s powerful voice models, including the one that powers its life-like Advanced Voice mode, to create their own products. This could lead to an explosion of new voice agents and transcription apps that are smarter, more empathetic, and easier to talk to. Click here for some examples — including medieval knight, true crime buff, and bedtime story.

3. Claude finally gets a search mode: Anthropic announced it’s releasing a new feature that lets Claude access real-time information from the web. The rollout could entice former Claude users who’d left for rivals like ChatGPT and Perplexity, which both have browsing capabilities. Paid users in the US should already have access to the tool, while non-subscribers will get to try it soon.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Study finds a ‘Moore’s Law’ for AI agents

A new study shows that frontier models might be improving at a much faster rate than we previously thought. The research group METR found that the length of tasks LLMs can tackle seems to be doubling every seven months. That’s even faster than Moore’s Law, which claims that chip capacity doubles roughly every two years.

Putting that into perspective: Claude Sonnet 3.7 can now tackle tasks that take humans about an hour. Compare that to 2023’s GPT-4, which was only capable of five-minute tasks, like searching the web for a specific fact — or 2022’s GPT-3.5, which could only do things that take us less than a minute, like recalling something it already knows.

What’s next? If the trend holds steady, it means four-hour tasks might only be a year or two away. And just wait until 2029, when METR predicts AI will be able to do things that take humans an entire month, like starting a business or making a new scientific discovery. Still, since LLMs are so new, we only have four or five years of data to go off, meaning we should probably take these findings with a grain of salt.
