AutoGPTs are improving at a blazingly fast speed and could soon transform the face of business.

Here's what you need to know:
What exactly are AutoGPTs?

AutoGPTs, which appeared just last week, are designed to automate GPT-4 tasks, enabling the creation of agents that complete tasks for you without any intervention.

The most popular ones are BabyAGI by @yoheinakajima and Auto-GPT by @SigGravitas.
The main features of AutoGPTs:
1) assign tasks/goals to be worked on automatically until completed
2) chain together multiple GPT-4s to collaborate on the tasks
3) internet access and ability to read/write files
4) memory to know what has been done
Currently, they're just experiments and have many limitations. Notably, they get stuck and have difficulty figuring out how to proceed.

But I think that's going to change VERY fast.
As noted by @blader, AutoGPTs are the top trending repos on GitHub.
@blader Due to the high interest from devs, we're witnessing daily improvements.

Numerous exciting experiments are underway, such as this one by @frankc with BabyAGI on Slack.
@blader @frankc And now people are making incredible forks of BabyAGI with improved memory and ability to accomplish tasks. Such as TeenageAGI which has improved memory.
@blader @frankc And even a web-based AutoGPT called AgentGPT that you can use with zero technical knowledge.
As you can see, innovative projects are already emerging despite the current limitations. And major players in the AI industry are taking notice.
For example, LangChain is now helping improve BabyAGI.
Ethan Mollick, a renowned professor from Wharton, also believes it's a big deal.
And the former head of AI at Tesla thinks AutoGPTs could be the next frontier.
Now, interest in AutoGPTs is expanding to Japan (where I live), partly due to the influence of Joi Ito, former head of the MIT Media Lab.
And a Stanford Research project used AutoGPTs to populate a virtual world.
As these projects continue to advance, their potential is immense. The possibilities for business applications are enormous.

In this thread with 3.6M views, @gregisenberg shares several great ideas of how businesses could use AutoGPTs.
To conclude:
1) AutoGPTs are exploding in popularity.
2) AutoGPTs could soon become very important as developers overcome current limitations.
3) Every business should be taking this seriously.
I created another thread that shares a bit of the story behind BabyAGI and its implications for Google if you're interested.
I plan to continue exploring AutoGPTs and experiment using them to grow @LoreAINews.

Already another update since this post last night. We're not slowing down.

Another big update. Looking like I'll have to create another thread.

I'M BLOWN AWAY

Elon Musk's xAI just beat ChatGPT in benchmarks

The creator of Unreal thinks it's AGI

What you need to know: Image
First, here are the benchmarks.

Humanity’s Last Exam: 44.4% (VS 26.9% Gemini 2.5 pro )
ARC-AGI-2: 15.9% (VS 8.6% from Claude Sonnett 4)
LiveCodeBench: 79.4% (VS 75.8% from Gemini 2.5 pro)

Grok 4 is SOTA Image
Grok 4 created an animation of a crowd of people forming "Hello world, I am Grok" with a single prompt.

I'M BLOWN AWAY.

Andrej Karpathy just explained Software 3.0 at YC.

BIG IDEAS: English is coding. AI is electricity. And, build for LLMs, not just people.

Key takeaways: Image
First, you can watch the entire presentation by @karpathy here:

This slide shows the fundamental shift we're living through.

Software 1.0: Write code by hand
Software 2.0: Train neural networks
Software 3.0: Talk to computers in English Image

My favorite people in AI to follow, the reason to follow them & their top tweet:
@mreflow is one of my favorite YouTubers. When I first got into AI, I watched his videos daily.

He also runs the #1 AI tool directory, Future Tools, and hosts The Next Wave podcast with me.

@OfficialLoganK has been a huge driving force in humanizing Google and leading the product for the Gemini API. And overall he's just a great person.

I'M SHOCKED.

While researching for my podcast, I realized China isn't just competing with the USA in AI. They're positioning to completely dominate us.

Everyone thinks America leads in AI. But China is building the energy infrastructure to crush us.

Here's what scares me:
The markets are starting to panic about our ability to pay our debts. Look at this chart. Credit default swap prices just hit levels we haven't seen since the financial crisis.

We can't cut our way out of $36.2T in debt. There isn't the political will.

The only path forward is MASSIVE economic growth. And that requires winning the AI race. Which requires massive amounts of energy.Image
Here's why I'm worried.

After 15 years of flat electricity production, we're finally growing again - but only by 3% last year.

Meanwhile, China has TRIPLED their capacity since 2005.

3% growth vs. tripling capacity. This is what LOSING looks like. Image

The vibe has shifted BIGLY because of DOGE. 🇺🇸

Even left-wing people are excited that @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy will be taking a hammer to Government spending.

Here's everything you need to know about DOGE: Image
First, DOGE is the Department of Government Efficiency, a new agency being created by the Trump administration.

It's NOT DOGE Coin, the joke crypto with a $53.6B market cap.

The name was suggested by a user on X(sorry I couldn't find his name), and now.. it's a real thing.
The agency aims to "dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies."

Elon Musk has said they can probably save the US $2 trillion. 🤯

See the full announcement letter from @realdonaldtrump below. Image
