In some ways it functions almost as like a checklist, so we're all clear that incredibly intelligent models that forget everything at the end of the context window aren't really AGI.

But at the same time, an incredibly powerful model like Elon Musk is predicting Grok 5 will be, whether it's AGI or not, could have a profound impact on the economy.

In fact, as I've said numerous times, I think that these models are having and will have a profound impact on the economy exactly as they are right now.

Ultimately, I think this is an extremely useful contribution to the field.

I hope that more people dig in.

And if nothing else, it creates a useful heuristic for the future when inevitably, we rage and scream and kick with every new model release about how some big wall has been hit.

For now, that's going to do it for today's AI Daily Brief.

Appreciate you listening or watching as always.

And until next time, peace.

Today on the AI Daily Brief, some monster revenue numbers bring up a slew of questions on the business model for OpenAI and Anthropic, before that in the headlines, why Claude's new skills feature is potentially a really big deal.

Welcome back to another AI Daily Brief Headlines Edition, all the daily AI news you need in around five minutes, and we have a jam-packed edition today.

We're kicking off today with a story that I think I will probably try to do a more operator's cut style episode as people dig in and figure out how to use these tools in the coming weeks.

But for now, it's rolled out a new feature called Skills, which provides agents with instructions, scripts, and resources to help them with specific tasks.

Users can fill a folder with these skills that might cover things like brand guidelines or instructions on carrying out a task in Excel.

The feature also allows users to provide executable code for situations where traditional programming is more reliable.
