The strongest version of this narrative highlights AI's rapid progress in autonomy, distributed training, and verification, presenting a future where AI systems refine themselves, collaborate globally, and produce verifiable software. The PostTrainBench results show AI agents improving at post-training tasks, though still lagging behind humans, while Covenant-72B demonstrates that decentralized training can match centralized efforts. Leonardo de Moura's call for verification infrastructure addre...
