Cais And Scale Ai Unveil Results Of "Humanity'S Last Exam," A Groundbreaking New Benchmark

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) and Scale AI today announced the results of a groundbreaking new AI benchmark that was designed to test the limits of AI knowledge and whether the models are capable of chain-of-thought reasoning. The results demonstrated a significant improvement from the reasoning capabilities of earlier models, but current models still were only able to answer fewer than 10 percent of the expert questions correctly. The new benchmark, called "Humanity's Last Exam," evaluated whether AI systems have achieved world-class expert-level reasoning and knowledge capabilities across a wide range of fields, including math, humanities, and the natural sciences. Throughout the fall, CAIS and Scale AI crowdsourced questions from experts to assemble the hardest and broadest problems to stump the AI models. The exam was developed to address the challenge of "benchmark saturation": models that regularly achieve near-perfect scores on existing tests, but may not be able to answer questions outside of those tests

A New Benchmark For Ai Investment: Swift Ventures Unveils System To Separate Talk From Action

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More. Swift Ventures has unveiled a new artificial intelligence company index today, creating the first systematic scoring system to identify public companies making genuine investments in AI technology rather than just talking about it in earnings calls.The venture capital firm developed the index by fine-tuning large language models to analyze thousands of earnings transcripts, hiring data, and research contributions. The analysis revealed that while companies mentioned AI over 16,000 times in last quarter’s earnings calls, only a small fraction are making substantial investments in the technology.“Everyone sees that the world’s changing — AI is changing the world, but most people, they just don’t have a way to partake in the upside,” said Brett Wilson, cofounder of Swift Ventures, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. “They can’t invest in private companies like I do as a VC, and it’s just not easy to find true AI companies beyond just buying Nvidia or the Magnificent Seven.”How top AI companies are crushing market returns: New performance dataThe index currently tracks approximately 90 companies and uses three primary metrics: investment in AI research and open-source contributions, AI talent density, and revenue derived from AI operations.Companies that meet the criteria for inclusion in the index have demonstrated remarkable market performance, with the index showing 37% annual growth over the past three years, substantially outperforming both the Nasdaq’s 12% and the SP’s 19% growth during the same period.Perhaps most striking is the correlation between research investment and profitability. Wilson noted, “When we looked at companies that are regularly contributing to AI research and open-source models, you see it reflected in their profitability
