A recent analysis of METR time horizon benchmarks suggests that AI agent capabilities are advancing rapidly, with a piecewise log-linear model providing the best fit for predicting future performance. This model, which uses two distinct trend lines with breakpoints in March and April 2024, outperforms simpler log-linear and log-quadratic models according to AIC scores. The analysis also includes a hypothetical projection of a second acceleration jump in AI capabilities by 2029. AI
