The second graph has this under it:
The length of tasks (measured by how long they take human professionals) that generalist frontier model agents can complete autonomously with 50% reliability has been doubling approximately every 7 months for the last 6 years...
I am a bit worried about the feature where it calls the shops for inventory checking. That's the whole point of having a website. Now we are going to have expensive AI that calls other AI answering machines and no value will be added. Meanwhile, it will become even more difficult to talk to a human when necessary.
While not every student is expected to read the book sequen- tially cover to cover, it is important to have the details in one place. Calculus is not a subject that can be learned in one pass. Indeed, this book nearly assumes readers have already had a year of calculus, as had the students of MAT 157Y. I hope this book will grow with its readers, remaining both readable and informative over multiple traversals, and that it provides a useful bridge between current calculus texts and more advanced real analysis texts.

We are pushing the envelope in serving this compute with cost-efficient, reliable power. The Atlanta site was selected with resilient utility power in mind and is capable of achieving 4×9 availability at 3×9 cost. By securing highly available grid power, we can also forgo traditional resiliency approaches for the GPU fleet (such as on-site generation, UPS systems and dual-corded distribution), driving cost savings for customers and faster time-to-market for Microsoft.
