Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

You know, here's the questions you need to ask in following one-on-ones, right?

Bankless

So yes, it's not replacing maybe like full employee, but it's becoming like a chief of staff.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It's becoming the assistant.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It's becoming an intern for some specific jobs before you would kind of offload.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

I think where we'll see advancements on the AI side is the context.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

I think that right now, like everybody feels it, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

The context links.

Bankless

I mean, where you saw all this entropic push to million token context, like every time effectively compaction hits in cloud code, for example, it just becomes like 10 times dumber.

And so, I mean, OpenCloset kind of have some of that as well.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So is that the main thing for these agents to be useful?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

I think that's right now one of the biggest bottlenecks, yeah.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It's like the amount of momentum that's happening kind of with this.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And the reality is like there's actually historically, if you think of like when you train these models, there hasn't been that much of things where you needed the context of,

Bankless

Like million tokens is like, whatever, few Harry Potter books, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Ah, it's not much.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

There's nothing to train on, like at scale.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

But now we do have this, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Now we actually have a lot of this agentic interactions now that everybody's running.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So there's actually data now to train this like longer range task.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

I'm pretty confident, yeah.
