The concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has become increasingly ambiguous, encompassing a broad spectrum of AI capabilities without clear distinctions. This ambiguity has led to a category error, where the term ‘AGI’ is used to describe a wide range of AI capabilities, from passing a Turing test to achieving consciousness, without any meaningful differentiation.

Recent breakthroughs in frontier models have yielded significant advancements, including reliable tool calling, coherence across sessions, and the ability to build upon them. These developments necessitate a new term, as ‘AGI’ no longer accurately describes the current state of AI.

Developing precise terminology is crucial to distinguish between past, present, and future AI capabilities. The current lack of clarity in our language hinders our ability to discuss and understand the progress being made in the field.
