I still can't believe anyone in the industry measures it like:

>from under 25 minutes to over 45 minutes.

If I get my raspberry pi to run a LLM task it'll run for over 6 hours. And groq will do it in 20 seconds.

It's a gibberish measurement in itself if you don't control for token speed (and quality of output).

i hate how anthropic uses data. you cant convince me that what they are doing is "privacy preserving"

my highlights and writeup here https://www.latent.space/p/ainews-anthropics-agent-autonomy

I wonder why there was a big downturn at the turn of the year until Opus was released.

This measures what agents can do, not what they should be allowed to do. In production, the gap between capability and authorization is the real risk. We see this pattern in every security domain: capability grows faster than governance. Session duration tells you about model intelligence. It tells you nothing about whether the agent stayed within its authorized scope. The missing metric is permission utilization: what fraction of the agent's actions fell within explicitly granted authority?
