Simpler Model Predicts 99% AI R&D Automation by 2032
Introduces a robust, 8-parameter model forecasting >99% AI R&D automation by late 2032. Based on conservative compute growth and algorithmic trends, it predicts 1000x-10M x efficiency gains and 300x-3000x research output by 2035. Simpler than AI Futures Model, focusing on timelines to automation without full takeoff.
2032 AI R&D Automation Predicted
Simplified model forecasts 99% AI R&D automation by late 2032 via compute and algo trends. Uses 8 parameters, conservative assumptions like no full automation. Predicts 1000x-10M x efficiency by 2035.
Trace Length Signals LLM Uncertainty
Reasoning trace length serves as simple confidence estimator in LLMs to combat hallucinations. Performs comparably to verbalized confidence across models, datasets, prompts. Post-training alters trace-confidence relationship.
Trace Length as LLM Uncertainty Signal
Apple researchers demonstrate that reasoning trace length serves as a simple, effective confidence estimator in large reasoning models. It performs comparably to verbalized confidence across models, datasets, and prompts, acting complementarily. The work shows reasoning post-training alters the trace-confidence relationship.
