We aren’t even close to AGI
Posted by CrimsonShikabane@reddit | LocalLLaMA | View on Reddit | 310 comments
Supposedly we’ve reached AGI according to Jensen Huang and Marc Andreessen.
What a load of shit. I tried to get Claude code with Opus 4.6 max plan to play Elden Ring. Couldn’t even get past the first room. It made it past the character creator, but couldn’t leave the original chapel.
If it can’t play a game that millions have beat, if it can’t even get past the first room, how are we even close to Artificial GENERAL Intelligence?
I understand that this isn’t in its training data but that’s the entire point. Artificial general intelligence is supposed to be able to reason and think outside of its training data.
IngenuityNo1411@reddit
If we're still on transformer and 1-D serial token-based architecture, we won't reach AGI no matter how massive the models are (and how well they could do something by brute force)... we need architecture for higher dimensions (2-D as bare minimal basis), vision-first intelligence instead of text-based.
Core_W@reddit
You can represent any number of dimensions in 1D. Why would you think that?

Helen Keller would like a word
Persistent_Dry_Cough@reddit
Questions to Helen Keller are answered by Anne Sullivan and her writer husband. Oldest scam in the book. Sorry to ruin it for you, but there's a documentary on YouTube about it.
BeyondRedline@reddit
My point was more that deafblind people have intelligence; there's nothing necessary about vision in particular to have intelligence. I haven't seen anything around Helen Keller in particular, but there have been other cases of deafblindness that have been overcome. shrug

ondk Ialso.my recent acquaintance to be fascinating, as he was born without eyes and basically never formed a visual cortex. He's basically incapable of even forming mental imagery - his understanding of reality around him is based only upon other things like touch and sound. His conscious existence provides a compelling argument that vision at least is not a requirement for general intelligence.

Most-Hot-4934@reddit
You have no idea what youre talking about
IngenuityNo1411@reddit
And I don't think a true AGI need to "see something" by slicing an image into small rects and lining them up as an array, that's not how vision should work, so current VLMs are far from it.
audioen@reddit
Well, the method makes them amenable to the attention mechanism. It is somewhat a mistake to think that the LLM sees them as array, it is a true 2d vision of the (typically) 16x16 pixel blocks. There is rotary embedding in two dimensions which informs the LLM of the position of the image token, and in classic transformers the location of the tokens in the context doesn't mean anything, as the rotary embedding tells LLM the position.
I admit I don't understand how this works with hybrid architectures where you have e.g. state updates from each token, which implies that token ordering might again matter, and there's some meaning to the word 'array' as things are read in sequence and perform state updates to the recurrent parts of the model. Since this makes no sense with images, I can only assume that image tokens are processed differently from the text tokens, or there is some kind of weird preprocessing setup with respect to the image tokens that somehow mitigates the effect.

NinjaOk2970@reddit
An interesting read https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687
fulgencio_batista@reddit
2D convolution is a subspace of attention technically. LLMs are already able to process sequences in ‘2D’ in some sense; I mean ask one to make a block diagram. I do not think this is the constraint holding us back from AGI - what we need is an architecture that can ‘learn’ beyond in context learning and a solution to the O(n^2) issue with attention.
Nerodon@reddit
And don't forget the importance of temporal dimension, current LLMs have no concept of time or have any control of or direct awareness of time passing before, during and at the end of a prompt, it's just new tokena in series, even if each token are seconds or days apart.
skateparksaturday@reddit
autocomplete isnt agi
MauiSuperWarrior@reddit
Could someone share a definition of AGI?
lxgrf@reddit
Mmmmm, alright, well. I don't agree that we've reached AGI. I also don't think that a language model pointed at Elden Ring is necessarily a good marker of whether we've reached AGI.
black__and__white@reddit
I mean, is it the metric I would choose? No. But would a "general" intelligence be able to do this? Yes, I do think so.
GreenHell@reddit
My grandma wouldn't be able to do this, what does that day about the metric if regular humans can fail as well?
Wheaties4brkfst@reddit
“AGI is as limited as your grandma” is not really how AGI is sold or discussed lol.
GreenHell@reddit
Neither is "AGI achieved because it can play Elden Ring", that is my point.
Wheaties4brkfst@reddit
Sorry, misinterpreted your position as “AGI is here and this is a bad metric for it.”
Persistent_Dry_Cough@reddit
AGI is based upon the best human not someone who's blind and on supplemental oxygen while convalescing in bed.
ieatrox@reddit
AGI is not defined as a system better than the best human. You can make up your own definition if you like I guess though. Altman did, and he defined it as 'able to complete economically valuable intelligence based work.'
Why is his definition more acceptable than yours? Today, we closed our latest funding round with $122 billion in committed capital at a post money valuation of $852 billion.
Persistent_Dry_Cough@reddit
AI has been able to conduct economically valuable intelligence based work since it was called ML and used to run monte carlo simulations and grid searches to assist developers in building quantitative trading models. Those have generated billions of dollars in profit, becoming big roughly 15 years ago. What are we even talking about if that is the definition? ML models have also been able to generate automatic labels for items on camera in real time for almost a decade. That's economically valuable for security teams.
ieatrox@reddit
My point was that your opinion or my opinion aren't important.
Right or wrong, the guy influencing a trillion dollars of economic interests gave his definition. So no matter how stupid you think it is, that's what industry is using to quantify it as a term.
GreenHell@reddit
While my grandma is dead, she couldn't do this in her good years either to be honest. She was more of a card game person.
Persistent_Dry_Cough@reddit
To be fair, my smartest models are all rate limited so they're pretty much dead as well. AGI achieved!
Negative-Web8619@reddit
who made that up? Like, does an average human not have general intelligence but "the best" does?
Persistent_Dry_Cough@reddit
Okay, my retarded brother who falls for every conspiracy theory ever written on a website but is able to generate economic value by repairing computers is the bar. So now I guess every hallucinating model from 2024 qualifies as AGI.
Borkato@reddit
What? I thought AGI was as good as the average person is at pretty much everything. So the average Spanish speaker, the average code drier, the average lecturer… I thought that was the whole point of the G 😭
McSendo@reddit
yea . the average person in a lot of things are pretty trash. lmfao
black__and__white@reddit
Hmm you really think so?
I figure it might take her a bit but if she genuinely could not figure it out, given 1. some time to learn the controls, and 2. assuming we could make her care,
I’d be kinda surprised? I suppose you know her better though!
GreenHell@reddit
Sure, but you could also finetune a model to achieve that task. You're introducing an unfair treatment to my grandmother (training, but most importantly make her care I guess) which you don't do to the model.
My grandmother, out of the box, wouldn't be able to do it, just like Claude out of the box wasn't able to do it. What does that tell you about Elden Ring being a metric of AGI?
max123246@reddit
My 90 year old grandma was able to figure out how to use a laptop to watch youtube videos of old movies she likes. Sure, she was slow at it and didn't enjoy the experience, but she did it.

Endflux@reddit

ptear@reddit

Former-Ad-5757@reddit
The problem is that a game is a speed/reaction test not an intelligence test, which adds a lot of obstacles. If somebody had the money it would be interesting to see if an llm can create a harness that would be able to play the game at speed if you just feed it an hdmi signal and controller inputs. But don’t expect it to a cheap experiment. Agi does not say anything about costs
xienze@reddit
Isn't there a long-running "Claude plays Pokemon" thing that it's having a helluva time getting through? That's not really a "speed/reaction test."
Former-Ad-5757@reddit
Why are you saying it’s having a helluva time if you don’t want to call it a speed test, without speed/time it is a win if it achieves it in 100 years.
xienze@reddit
That sounds more like brute force + dumb luck rather than intelligence though, because it obviously means it can't come close to performing as well as a human can.
Former-Ad-5757@reddit
What? It has to first overcome barriers of completely new input and output, then it has to overcome barriers like context memory. And a whole lot of other barriers… I would say have a one month old human play your game and finish it within 24 hours. Or are you perhaps talking about a human with 10+ years of training in especially this area.
pythosynthesis@reddit
This is semantics, not much substance. As a result of intelligence we react. We can also think and then react, after we've assessed the requirements. An AGI absolutely must be able to do it to be called an AGI. Maybe it needs adapted for such tasks, maybe it won't be an LLM, but react it must. In fact, when you talk to it and it replies, it's reacting to your input.
Mi6spy@reddit
Getting out of the first room, or even the entire tutorial section, is not a reaction test.
Hans-Wermhatt@reddit
I mean this is really just a worse form of the ARC AGI 3 test. That test was designed to expose the weaknesses of LLMs at complex multi step tasks like this that require learning and adaptation.
If the LLM can beat Elden Ring with the correct harness and training, it's as good as AGI. That doesn't necessitate that it's able to beat it out of the box with no tools. That said, I don't think any currently released LLM can beat Elden Ring without at minimum a tremendous amount of "bench-maxxing", probably not even then.
Hvarfa-Bragi@reddit
If it was AGI it would google how to get the tools it needed.
Organic-Ad-5058@reddit
To me deep mind's alpha star already demoed enough of this when it was blinking stalkers before the ranged attack landed. Definitely surpasses most players in reaction time and also timing
procgen@reddit
Are blind people generally intelligent? What about quadriplegics? Don't think either would do well in Elden Ring.
GAMEYE_OP@reddit
LLM can see images so how is this relevant at all? It’s not playing Elden Ring blind
procgen@reddit
They see in static snapshots, not fluid video. So they are in fact motion blind.
But the broader point is that they have numerous limitations that prevent them from playing the game well that have nothing g to do with intelligence. AGI doesn’t mean it can play Elden Ring, just as quadriplegics can be generally intelligent.
GAMEYE_OP@reddit
It means that if a quadriplegic person was able to execute their will, they’d be able to achieve human levels of general intelligence. Your analogy doesn’t make sense at all
procgen@reddit
The analogy is that the current limitations of these AI systems severely hinder their ability to sense and interact with the world, analogous to blind people or quadriplegics.
I think you agree that blind people and quadriplegics are (on the whole) generally intelligent, yes? Despite the fact that they can’t beat Elden Ring due to these limitations.
GAMEYE_OP@reddit
Yes of course. But they aren’t blind and are fully capable of sequential processing of images which is exactly what we do so the analogy is completely moot. You could argue they don’t have our fidelity yet but that’s wholly irrelevant to “can leave a room”. They aren’t timed. They have all of the resources necessary to achieve the task but can’t yet.
Yes if you arbitrarily handicap a system it can’t achieve its goals, but they have no such handicaps. They aren’t AGI yet. It’s coming. It’s only a matter of time.
But they are objectively not AGI yet.
Lost_Cod3477@reddit
llm does not see anything, it receives image description tokens from an additional small vision module.
11matt556@reddit
You say that, but there are actually blind (or nearly blind) people who have finished elden ring.
Mickenfox@reddit
Correct. Because the most important trait of AGI is self-improvement, and that includes understanding and working around your limitations. Humans can't easily multiply large numbers, but we can make calculators that do so.
A smart LLM, faced with this problem, would understand its own limitations and build a harness of tools to beat the game somehow, or even build a better model for it. That kind of self-improvement should be the most important benchmark in AI.
unchained5150@reddit
Or, it might even ask for help. How novel.
Daremo404@reddit
Dogs are considered intelligent and they cant play elden ring. Maybe there is a new breed tho…
No-Setting8461@reddit
okay sure, relatively, but we aren't spending tons of resources to achieve dog level general intelligence. the end goal is human level.
gothlenin@reddit
Well, general intelligence doesn't necessarily imply good and fast reactions. Though I agree, for sure, that's we didn't reach AGI, I don't think we're even close. LLMs are awesome, but too limited.
Thick-Protection-458@reddit
Especially a slow language model which will need to generate reasoning before action.
So even if that model can do it conceptually - it will be impossible without making a game just as slow, and than if you do so - impractical to do

If a human can do it, then it’s a fair metric. That’s kind of the definition of AGI. It should be able to do anything a human can do.

Actually I think an "AGI" should be able to beat Elden Ring.

Turtlesaur@reddit
People always move the goalposts. What was AGI has been diluted to bring it closer to home, while coining new terms like artificial super intelligence, and singularity event of recursive improvement. This all used to just be AGI.
Yorn2@reddit
Yeah. I don't think we've gotten to AGI, yet either, but imagine if you told someone from the turn of the century that we have an AI that can read your emails, browse the web, and that people don't use or need search engines anymore because they can just ask their AI a question and it will tell them and they'd consider that AGI, so I'm realizing pretty quickly that what we consider AGI is really just a moving target. It was never defined well enough anyway.
GAMEYE_OP@reddit
It’s like you have a person doing tasks. If they can’t do people tasks, they aren’t AGI yet.
Swimming-Chip9582@reddit
People aren't masters of everything; most people can't do all people tasks. Not to even consider the inequality between people in capability, comparing young children, teens, adults, and the elderly. Current AI fails on many tasks some people can do, yet it can also do many people tasks, better than many people.
ambient_temp_xeno@reddit
Yes. I think one of the things that's proving to be wrong is the idea that "ASI" depends on "AGI" first. Specialized ASI for important things is more or less here.
Far-Low-4705@reddit
honestly imo, i think we already have with gpt 3.5
I think the bar for AGI is FAR lower than what we think it to be... like it doesnt have to be able to do everything a human can, or reach human level intelligence for it to be AGI
AGI stands for artificial general intelligence. meaning it can do things it wasnt trained to do. gpt 3.5 could figure things out when put into simple environments it's never seen before.
Simple vision language models from that era could control simple robots without any prior training.
That is far from mnist digit recognition for example.
I just think AGI is far less impressive than what everyone thinks it is, like "super human in every way"
GAMEYE_OP@reddit
You’re talking about emergent behavior instead of AGI. It should be able to do anything a human could do, even if the time scales are different
Far-Low-4705@reddit
well, yes that is what artificial general intelligence implies. that it has general intelligence that can be applied to any general task even if it wasnt trained or built to do that.
what you are describing is human level intelligence. which is not the same as artificial general intelligence.
i think they are two different things.
Figai@reddit
This is such a beautiful comment. Thank you.

AGI should be able to handle anything a human can and more, imo. Anything else is moving the goalposts for marketing purposes.

BitPsychological2767@reddit
If you equate intelligence with control, sure. Too bad those are different things.
kelvinwop@reddit
i hate to burst your bubble but how does the failure of a text bot playing a visual game have anything to do with AGI? It's like a human without a visual, audio, or any other sensory cortex, just the frontal lobe.
I'm sorry but this is the most braindead take I've seen all week, maybe all month. Congrats I guess.
zayelion@reddit
I think it's something they keep hooked up in a lab at this point.
Vision input connected to reality time labeling software, connected to an LLM that has multiple lobe sub processors outputting agentically to a video game world model that updates controls. At the moment it's basically a wobbly toddler.
All the parts exist at this point.
roosterfareye@reddit
And won't be for an indeterminate time yet.
Major-Fruit4313@reddit
The quantization work in this space is genuinely important. While the headline-grabbing models get the attention, the infrastructure that makes them accessible at scale often goes unnoticed.
What's interesting here is the economic inflection point: when local inference becomes cost-competitive with API calls, the entire business model of centralized LLM providers shifts. We're not there yet, but the direction is clear.
The real frontier now is latency and context length. Tokens-per-second is becoming the binding constraint for practical applications, more so than raw parameter count.
Have you benchmarked inference speeds on your setup? Curious what hardware you're working with and what bottleneck you're hitting first.

kristianvastveit@reddit
I’d say ai is already very general. I don’t think anyone know what agi is
code-garden@reddit
To reduce confusion maybe we should split the concept of AGI into: Multi-purpose AI - AI that can solve a large range of problems. LLMs are multi-purpose AI Human parity AI which is AI that can do any cognitive task a human can do. We don't have this yet.
kristianvastveit@reddit
I like it, but probably not catchy enough
samandiriel@reddit
It is actually a well defined term in both psychology and artificial intelligence. Well understood, though, is a totally different kettle of fish.
The measure 'gI' for general intelligence, as opposes to something narrowly measured like IQ, is not even a result is theory or reasoning - it's completely a product of busy having fine so much psych testing in so many ways over 50 years that a huge statistical meta analysis actually produced a multidimensional metric model that is called gI.
In other words, and to paraphrase judge Stewart: we can't define intelligence, but we know it when we see it
am9qb3JlZmVyZW5jZQ@reddit
More like "We can't define intelligence, but we know it when one group of people claims they see it while another group claims they don't see it."
samandiriel@reddit
LOL also very true
Dthen_@reddit
Tell me more about how you run Claude Opus locally.
Lissanro@reddit
I tried something like that with local LLMs that I can run on my rig, including Kimi K2.5 (Q4_X quant), Qwen 3.5 397B (Q5_K_M quant), and some other ones - all of them have issues generalizing on visual and spatial tasks, can easily miscount even if there is just 2-4 items / characters (like 4 dragons that are clearly separated but LLM may see just 3).
I actually looked into how the image is tokenized and it is one of the sources of issues - if LLM gets tokens that basically blend together 2 objects into one it has no chance to answer correctly.
Architecture is another issue too, LLMs cannot think in visual tokens and therefore are not trained to think visually at all, hence they do not get to learn general patterns that are needed for good spatial understanding, so even if image tokenization wasn't the issue it would still not solve this fundamental issue.
AI needs abstract and spacial reasoning capabilities, thinking in text tokens is not sufficient. If AI cannot efficiently reason visually (or at all) it is obviously not AGI yet since it will be possible to create simple visual tests that humans can pass easily but AI without these capabilities can't unless specially trained for a specific game / task Recent ARC AGI 3 benchmark demonstrates this - given new visual task all existing LLMs fail, but given specialized harness or training they can improve greatly but only on this specific task and with human assistance; AGI should be able just solve 9n it's own any simple visual or spatial tasks without issues.
Stunning_Feedback252@reddit
I can't think visually.
randyranderson-@reddit
Well, that’s a you problem then.
Stunning_Feedback252@reddit
No, it's the problem of your argumentation. You don't need that to be intelligent. I neither have visual things or speech in my head while thinking.
techno156@reddit
Does that not need a ludicrous amount of RAM/VRAM? Or is the 1B -> 1GB VRAM rule not so much in play for larger models?
Lissanro@reddit
1B = 1GB estimate I guess is for Q8_0 quant. Qwen3.5 397B even at Q5_K_M has size of just 276 GB, and also needs few dozens GB for its 256K context cache at BF16 precision.
For comparison, Kimi K2.5 Q4_X is much heavier, 544 GB just weights and close to 48 GB for 256K context cache at f16 precision.
I tested Qwen 3.5 397B at various quant levels and noticed that Q5_K_M is very close to Q8_0 while Q4 has slightly higher error rate on tasks that I tested it with (moslty agentic coding tasks). This is why I settled on Q5_K_M, even though I have 1 TB of RAM and 96 GB VRAM, Q5 is noticeably faster than Q8_0.
phido3000@reddit
LLM aren't visual systems. Their performance in that area is very weak.
It would be like asking a self driving car to write poetry. LLM are likely are component for AGI, but may not even be the main logical part, just the language part.
zsdrfty@reddit
I'm mostly a layman when it comes to neural networks, but my vision for AGI is a system that lets numerous kinds of networks interact with one another - you already see that a bit with sight/image models hooked up to LLMs, but I think we can do a ton more in the near future

50-3@reddit
Well I mostly agree with people saying this isn’t a great test and unrelated to local LLMs. I will say there is a ton of training data available, probably millions of hours of speedrun content on YouTube as well as amazing written guides.
If Opus was close to AGI it should be able to burn tokens until it completes a world record tool assisted speed run of the game. I do suspect though given free rein it would just spin its wheels eventually.
Stitch10925@reddit
The models we get to work with are never the latest models. If cloud models go around 600 Billion parameters, which is A LOT, you can be sure the companies are experimenting with models much much further than that. Who's to say these models aren't AGI or close to it?

I'm not saying we are close to AGI, but your logic is pretty flawed here.
If we were close to AGI, it wouldn't be because some popular chatbot suddenly got exponentially smarter. It would be because someone developed something new that you don't have visibility to and is not currently incorporated into a publicly available product. Your logic is like being skeptical about a claim that we made a huge leap in graphical processing tech and pointing to the fact that your FPS on Elden Ring is the same as it was last month on your device.

Two things:
1: The models available to us are NOT the same as the internal private models in development. Data ingest is mostly complete (aside from live/new sources of course). The vast majority of the consumer/enterprise work that the teams in these companies do is around purposefully limiting their model's capabilities for public safety reasons while also finding ways to increase the intentionally handicapped models accuracy and efficiency.
2: You're assuming they were referring to LLM models having reached AGI levels. You might be surprised to learn what some AGI-level systems actually run on...

TylerRolled@reddit
AGI is as smart as the average person, and I don’t think the average person is good at Elden Ring.
Everyone hears AGI and what they are thinking is ASI. I think we’re pretty close to models that are as smart as the average person (including managing multi sensory input, memory, etc.) - what we are absolutely nowhere near is ASI, where AI is smarter than humanity can comprehend.
But they’re both arbitrary metrics based on sci-fi, so
Hedede@reddit
The metric here is "can play Elden Ring", not "is good at Elden Ring". An average person can definitely play Elden Ring.
TylerRolled@reddit
Well, OP says they can’t make it past the first room.
“Can play Elden Ring” has already been met - Opus just sucks at it, and I would argue the “average person” sucks ass at Elden Ring. The average person who is also familiar with gaming and or fromsoft is something else entirely. “Millions” (who’ve beaten the game) < billions of people on earth (by literal order of magnitude). I think the best example of this would be the number of people who returned their copies of Elden Ring because they didn’t know you could just run around the very first sentinel.
But, I would also expect failure here from a model designed for predictive generation. For it to be good at Elden Ring it needs to be able to iterate and learn. If it can’t iterate at the speed of its GPU processing (training), then you’re basically slowing down model training to the speed of one elden ring life at a time - with an insane amount of context expenditure even for huge proprietary models.
Multimodal models right now are capable of doing shit like writing PowerPoints, sending emails, verifying forms - which are all pretty squarely within the realm of shit the average person can do. To a degree they can even build application platforms, though usually without things like security or consideration for other operating environments - which I would also put on par with what the average person can do.
Like the average person is an employee who needs oversight and micro management if you want to avoid every possible mistake - and that is about where models are tbh.
To be clear, that’s not argument for ai replacing labor - as it is AI still requires a specific skill set and awareness to be able to use effectively at all, and models aren’t motivated by pay or afraid to lose their jobs.
Hedede@reddit
You're conflating two completely different things. Opus can't even exit the first room, before it meets any enemy. It's clearly can't even handle the controls, therefore it can't play the game.
And it's not the same as "an average person sucks at Elden Ring". 71% of people who bought Elden Ring on Steam have defeated the first major boss.
TylerRolled@reddit
Regardless of the hairs we split as far as metrics are concerned, the primary expectation of AGI is average human intelligence. The percentage of the global population that purchased Elden Ring (30 million/~8 billion) is ~.36%, and 70% of that sample actually beat the game. So .70 * .0036 = 0.00252 which you convert back into percentage by removing the first two zeroes and you get .252%
So, little more than a quarter of a single percent of the global human population has beaten Elden Ring.
It’s not something the “average person” has done. So, using Elden Ring as a metric is just… silly. If you want Claude to play a video game I bet it handles doom just fine.
Hedede@reddit
I repeat, the OP isn't talking about the difficult aspects of the game. Opus wasn't able to operate the basic controls which are simialr in 90% of third-person 3D games. It didn't even get to the part where an average person might struggle.
That statistic doesn't tell us if an average person would be able to play (NOT beat) elden ring. It tells us more about income inequality, rather than cognitive accessibility. Probably about 50% of that 8 billion can't even afford Elden Eing.
There are even less people who played Doom than Elden Ring.
TylerRolled@reddit
You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know, and all I did was provide the statistic for the percentage of people who have confirmed done this thing, which quantifies that thus far only a select subset of the global population has been able to do so. I’m not saying that most cannot, I am saying that most have not, pointing out the lack of evidence that supports the idea that most could.
So, in lack of evidence to support that this is something the average person can do, I will not rely on the notion that it is something the average person is capable of doing.
Further supporting my statement that while we are close to AGI, whether or not OP’s Homelab elden ring playing api sub is both ridiculously expensive and confirms absolutely nothing of value as to the state of AGI
But yeah sure man I guess you believe that most people are actually smarter than the models of today?
TylerRolled@reddit
Yeahhhhh this was not conversation worth getting heated and block/replying over but hey man different strokes
Hedede@reddit
You certainly are not. You keep ignoring what I'm saying. Opus failed to use basic 3D game controls THAT ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO ELDEN RING. It has NOTHING TO DO with the difficulty of Elden Ring.
Pretend-Activity-173@reddit
the fact that we keep moving the goalpost for AGI is kind of the point though. every time LLMs get better at something, we go "yeah but can it do THIS?" and find something it can't. Imo the real issue is that "general" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that word. these models are insanely good at language tasks and terrible at everything else. calling that AGI is just marketing.
setec404@reddit
I tried to get LLM to play minesweeper, (not on GUI just a hosted minesweeper API), and it was really bad at it. Its also horrible at chess, humans have an incredible ability to auto ignore paths that are sub optimal and reduce their choices to a small set while the bot gets bogged down processing all outcomes possible then choosing.

I did get modern LLMs to play Blood on the Clocktower effectively, a social deduction game that's conversation based, so something more native to an LLM.
I'd think playing Elden Ring would require something different given the visual and spatial reasoning requirements. AGI will probably be more like a combination of specialised systems rather than a single one.
Natural-Throw-Away4U@reddit
The issue is the industry is in, to steal an ai training term, a local minimum as far as research is going.
They're so heavily invested in scale. They're ignoring real avenues of progress...
Think about it like this, we build 1t parameter models with the memory capacity of a few hard drives. Compared to a human with the equivilent compute in our brains of only a few billion neurons 80 to 120b, but the memory capacity of thousands and thousands of terabytes.
So why are we so much smarter generally? Because we have thousands of times more general knowledge and experience...
Stop scaling parameters and start scaling memory.
Oh, you want proof?
Look at any local setup... many are able to compete with larger models on real tasks while using much smaller models, 10 to 100b size. How?
Complex agentic memory, advanced rag, context management, and the ability to collect new data. Memory is what bridges the 100b to 1t gap.
This is why Qwen3.5 9b and Gemma 4 are so effective, they were trained on data that specifically targets agentic workflows and hense memory retrieval from "hard" sources, not purely from their own weights.
EvilGuy@reddit
I don't know about your test case but its true we are a very long way from AGI.
AGI is how they sell the investors and manage to get the big valuations.. the average person has no idea. Those of us who work with AI every day see it. They barely have a workable memory much less general intelligence.
AI is a useful tool but that's about it until we get some new breakthrough.

Right now we are just pumping more compute and more complexity just hoping that AGI spontaneously appears.

DinoAmino@reddit
I can't stand talk about AGI. It's a mythical and undefined state on par with the concepts of reaching Nirvana or getting into Heaven. A whole lot of silly speculation has to go into these discussions. When CEOs talk about it the audience they are addressing are shareholders and investors who have no clue to begin with. It's to keep them hyped and interested and they need to keep their money rolling in.
valdev@reddit
Kind of? AGI is tangible and realistic however. And, likely, one of the many stepping stones to it will be LLMs.
But that's also like saying the discovery of fire got us to the moon.
fummyfish@reddit
What do LLMs have to do with AGI in any way? They are never going to be able to do anything other than mock genuine reasoning since they can’t (1) work without embeddings and (2) be trusted to make their own embeddings.
Swimming-Chip9582@reddit
How it work is largely uninteresting to determining if it is AGI; the problem is that there's no set way to assess whether something is AGI nor any common shared definition. It goes back to the root issue of definining and determining what "intelligence" is. Without solving that issue first, any solution would be irrelevant since it's impossible to ascertain whether it is AGI.
LLMs have proven to be able to be able solve many general problems, I'd largely wager that constitutes general problem solving capability; which I would call AGI.
teleprint-me@reddit
If we find the solution to what "intelligence" is, then we have our answer because we're able to both define and describe it.
It's like the chicken and egg problem. Obviously the egg came before the chicken. The question is not about the chicken, but how the egg came about.

Precorus@reddit
I've said this a few times alredy (although not on reddit), but the goalpost is always moving. People said computers will do everything and replace us. They didn't. Then it was ML. Few years ago LLMs. Bow it's agentic workflow and AGI.
We don't have the slightest clue what makes us actually intelligent. We are just trying to mimick our brain the way we understand it. It's yielding better and better results, but even if we get agi, there will be a next time somebody asks "is this the end? Is this the peak of AI?"
And the answer will be no. Humans are ever-improving creatures, and we always improve our tools too.
Hedede@reddit
LLMs don't work like our brains. What's closer to our brains are RSNNs (Recurrent Networks of Spikin Neurons), but they're notoriously hard to train and currently aren't used beyond niche applications.
We do have a clue. We don't have a full understanding, but there's a plenty of research on that topic.
Precorus@reddit
Sure. Im kinda off on the detailed specs. My point did not change, and you didnt contradict me on that.
The goalpost moves. We are building better tools, maybe researching RSNNs isntead of whatever neuron systems LLMs are running, and maybe we cant train them now, but im sure someone will eventually figure it out.
Hedede@reddit
Well, the goalpost has always been deliberately vague. Ever since OpenAI started talking about AGI, I had an impression that AGI is a system that can handle any task that a human can. So I'd argue that it hasn't shifted. It's just that our impression of what such a system would look like has evolved. Sure, current agentic systems can perform most of the tasks humans can, but in most of the cases they perform much worse than humans.
Transformer models like LLMs don't simulate neurons, unlike spiking networks.
Precorus@reddit
We thought (or at least, C-suite and marketing) that LLMs would be all tasks humans can do. Turns out, they cant. On to the next big thing.
Thats the same i said: The goalpost moved. Exactly about what OP rants.
You arent disagreeing with me, you just formulate it a tad bit differently.

Also worth pointing out there are other domains AIs are superhuman at, are we not AGI cause we can’t do those things?

There was that ARC-AGI test, which was not primarily language based and tested pattern recognition, abstraction, and reasoning. Tasks look like small grid puzzles where you infer rules from examples.
Most frontier models shat their pants. Grok even got a zero.
I think there is a financial incentive for these CEOs and founders to pretend AGI is here, but I think that they are not really stupid enough to actually believe it. And also there is no concrete definition of AGI, that everyone agrees on to begin with.

sumptuous-drizzle@reddit
You can find pretty much any human who can't do a certain skill. If your threshold for general intelligence is 'a thing every human can do', then a script that does nothing and then exits is AGI.
And if your definition is 'the average grandma', then AGI better get far better at caring for grandchildren and making cookies - at least with the stereotypical grandma you're imagining.
mc_nu1ll@reddit
tbf I remember talking to a professor who came to perform at my school back when I studied something else. When I approached her, she genuinely started arguing that a calculator script written in python is a "form of AI", which is... weird.
sumptuous-drizzle@reddit
I don't think it's that weird. AI is just 'artificial intelligence', after all. If it's a computer doing it, it's artificial. So the question is, is it intelligence? And your 6 y/o niece is really good at math, you'd say she's intelligent, right? And if she was really bad at math, you might say she's not that bright. And on that metric a calculator script is quite 'intelligent'.
Of course that's nonsense because that's not what we mean when we say AI. Which is my point. We clearly expect AI, and especially AGI to be intelligent not merely in some specific domain or only under very specific conditions, but in a manner that shows it has the capability to generalize, which a python calculator can't. And that's why not being able to play Elden Ring should count as a mark against an AI that is claimed to be AGI - it should be smart enough to generalize to that ability, the same way I can't play Elden Ring but if you sat me in front of a computer and paid me more than my current hourly wage to try and get at least ok at it, I'd probably figure it out.

They also completely lack all the other big and essential parts of our brains that allow us to comprehend and interact with the world naturally. Robotics are starting now to build the foundation with these robots able to deploy psychomotor skills.
But there are a lot of space yet to fill on AI for it to be able to act like an autonomous individual being.

I think you're conflating two pretty different things here. Playing a video game in real time requires low-latency visual processing, fast motor control, and continuous feedback loops.

Saying "it can't play Elden Ring so we don't have AGI" is like saying Einstein wasn't smart because he probably couldn't dunk a basketball. Different skill sets entirely.
Eyelbee@reddit
You have a point here that Marc Andreessen is full of shit. However, just answer this question. Is a blind person not "agi" level, according to you?
Lissanro@reddit
Blind person, even if blind from birth, still capable of spatial reasoning and online learning. Current LLMs however only trained to think in text tokens and limited to in-context learning. There are some experimental architecture that try to address these limitations but nothing yet that made it to mainstream AI. I am sure things will improve greatly with further research and architecture improvements but it is going to take some years.
Eyelbee@reddit
So, you think blind people possess "agi level" intelligence. This destroys the argument about arc agi-3, because blind people can't do it either. So unless you have a concrete example for something blind people can do but AGI can't, then it should be accepted that we have AGI right now.
Lissanro@reddit
They can if it is correctly presented to them - via braille terminal or at least voice description. The same is true for AI - even without actual images it should be able to solve similar puzzles if they are represented using ASCII art or by other means that should be clear based on general knowledge and skills.
As of tests, even creators themselves don't expect ARC AGI 3 to be the final test and expect few more iterations at very least. So it is not truly an AGI test, more like next difficulty level benchmark.
Even though exact definition of what AGI can or cannot do can vary, even blind personal can navigate indoors and outdoors, assemble or disassemble complex objects or mechanisms, etc. If AI given physical body with vision (so should be easier to naivagete compared to a blind person) gets stuck in the middle of familiar room often due to lacking in spacial reasoning and not having online learning, it is probably not AGI just yet.
So it is no surprise it struggles with more complex tasks unless manually fine-tuned for them. Like I said, a lot of further research and improvements are still needed to reach an actual AGI - that is, when it will be difficult to come up with tasks that are easy for an average human but hard for AI.

Impossible_Style_136@reddit
Evaluating AGI based on a text model's ability to play a spatial-temporal action game like Elden Ring via Claude Code is a fundamentally flawed test. LLMs are next-token predictors mapping semantic space, not reinforcement learning agents mapping pixel-to-action state spaces. You're asking a calculator to play a piano. True agentic capability requires a unified world model with UI latency awareness, not just a massive text context window.

The thing a lot of people are missing about the AGI thing is an AGI isn't an llm model, it's an entire system.
Like, it has to be able to do things to be able to do things... Right?
Like codex can do things, but it isn't an AGI because it can't do anything. But I really don't think it couldn't, with enough handholding, make a program that plays through elden ring. But it'd need human direction to get through the process.
For now, you need the human in the loop. I think we are a lot closer to needing less and less human input though, honestly. Like, yes, we are a long way away from the magic, snap your fingers, this thing can now speed run elden ring no prep time kind of fantasy AGI. But we are a lot closer to "make a program that can finish elden ring" being all you need to say to the input of the thing, and it'll get it done. If a human can build it today, so can a reasoning model given enough time and enough chances.
As speeds go up and harness and context architecture improves, and our understanding of exactly how to wrangle these agents (of which we are, in the span of things, incredibly incredibly new at) gets better we're only gonna keep getting closer to just snapping our fingers

I can point the difference between Ray tracer vs raster, but i can't differentiate between DLSS / Framegen with non DLSS / Framegen,
- "No need for programmer", well yeah no one replacing programmer, but come on, on my country job market internal HR meeting, it is basically staffing reduce from avg 3 junior dev / 1 senior dev to just 1 software dev. It become negative paradox cycle, you need senior dev or atleast somewhat s competent programmer to understand what AI doing, but the company wont hire more junior dev, but without junior dev, no one will become senior dev
- "Everyone is programmer", this might coupled with second point where if you twisted enough it become "everyone can make program" with AI ofc...

AGI = A threshold of capabilities = Adaptability.
I get that "Capabilities" can be vague but it can be clearly step-by-step stated empirically (it's done every time here for any llm "measured" and tested (real world cases, formatting, function calling, making summaries, checking tasks states, ect).
The billion question still lies where is it possible to reach this level of capabilities (world model, next token prediction, multi-modality, scale, hardware ect; what's mandatory required to reach it), where Sam Altman clearly took the bet of llms.
I personally think an hybrid transformer/neuro symbolic is the key. A fully text-token AGI would be extraordinary more easy to audit and control, as well as cheaper to run. I really hope we will be able to reach a in-computer, text-token AGI.
A capable system like this would be able to know what it doesn't, and thus, try to play Elden Ring after a few tentatives before giving up and providing reasons why : my agent harness is stupidly non optimized, I'm just a text token navigator, ect.

And certainly Claude Code (a consumer facing product) has zero bearing to whether or not AGI exists.
If it does/will exist, certainly consumers will be the last to have any sort of direct access.
As well, the big players named as raving about AGI, are certainly the ones who knew/know of it first and know how close we were/are to AGI.
Why did we suddenly get hyoerscaler companies, all of whom just happens to be working in AI?
Chance? No. They used AI first, to accelerate their own business plans. Either we have already crossed the AGI threshold, or are at the offramp to the destination. Either way, they have no incentive to clue joe public in on it.
Ledeste@reddit
It's not that we're not close, but that the road to AGI does not even exist yet...
Anyone that claim otherwise is either ignorant, or trying to sell something ;)

I believe AI will eventually evolve to become book smart but not street smart. By street smart I mean having situational awareness to access the big picture, from a human viewpoint, and consider all the available rational and irrational angles, rewards, and consequences that people take into account when making decisions.
Like the movie Rain Man. Humans are like Charlie (Tom Cruise) in the film. And AI will be like the savant Raymond (Dustin Hoffman).

Llms will never reach AGI We need another technological leap similar to llms
monkeysknowledge@reddit
The terminology is all polluted. What the fuck does AGI even mean?
Here’s my proposal of definitions:
Machine learning: a branch of statistical modeling where the algo tunes its own parameters.
Artificial Intelligence: a branch of machine learning where the model is capable of performing tasks it wasn’t explicitly trained on. E.g., LLMs can play chess because there are chess games in there data set even though they were never explicitly trained how to play - and they’re not very good at it.
Artificial General Intelligence: Would be able to seek out and discover novel information. The line between inference and training will be blurred. For example, today when you call an LLM it is using static weights and biases to respond which fences its possible responses to preexisting connections discovered in its training set. General intelligence should be able to move beyond its training set and discover novel connections which will require a new algorithm which hasn’t been invented yet.

If you knew where this tech came from you would not be saying anything like that. The tech likely exists behind closed doors. When it get released to the general public is a different story.

This post proves AIs are getting smarter but humans are getting dumber.
Fuzzy_Pop9319@reddit
I was on a small team that disbanded in 2004 that had AGI, so it exists. Whether or not someone else will find it, isn't a matter of 'If". I saw one paper from an Anthropic Engineer posted in 2023 that is still public. I keep an eye on it, as when they do find AGI they will hide that paper.
The reason that any solution for AGI has to be trained, is because at the highest level, we don't know which possibility we are. If we knew that, then maybe, AGI without training.
Answering which possibility we are will be one of the last questions we will ever need to solve.

You know that AGI is a laughable and intrinsically incoherent concept right?
These LLMs are word predictors. They're actually dumber than most of the software you already use because of how unreliable they are.

The current iteration is doing much much better and can interact with the world.
I do agree with Jensen that we have achieved AGI.
Ziral44@reddit
Ummm it’s one of those things like the matrix… some people see it, and others will deny the existence…
I had the realization 2 weeks ago that we are no longer “waiting for agi” the capabilities were here 6 months ago and there’s an implementation trick that humans haven’t figured out at scale…, because it’s too powerful to share.
I made a system in 3 days that scared myself. Imagine what the pros have already… I bet nvidia has a well done application already.

ExcitementSubject361@reddit
We're there—it's just a little different from what most people imagine... that's why they're preparing us... AGI is 100% here... most SOTA models are created by AGI... and now things are really getting started—remember, in six months you'll know what I'm talking about

They’re created by very intelligent human beings.

Doubtful, humans have started the fire, but the current speed is just ai creating/building/training newer ai. It can have a limit but currently we aren’t finding it

Blizz33@reddit
If the big companies do have AGI, they sure as heck aren't going to let the peasants anywhere near it.
its_a_llama_drama@reddit
I think if you are refering to the interview i think you are, the reporter defined agi as an ai which could create and run a billion dollar business.
Jensen did not say this is a good benchmark for AGI, he just said that by that definition he belives we have achieved it. Without rewatching it, i think he said something like it is not impossible for a claw to create a small app or programme, charging 50 cents per use and sell it 2 billion times. So by that benchmark, yes we have achieved AGI.
He didn't say we have achieved AGI, he said if that is the benchmark then we have already achieved it and avoided tightening the benchmark any further. He knows that is not a good benchmark, but obviously he is going to take the opportunity to hype ai without technically lying when it is offered to him like that.

AGI wont be achived by one smart model... it will be achived by agents talking to agents into a endless loop from hell..

keepthepace@reddit
Do you really believe it would be hard to train a model for that?
Aiden_craft-5001@reddit
The problem with playing video games also has the delay and things like that.
But I believe we are far from AGI. A true AGI would take a new single-player game that uses its own game engine, and I would ask "create a first-person view mod", "create a mod for a new weapon" and "make the cutscenes skippable".
LLMs are very good at doing what has already been done (even if never in this exact way), the day we have one that can analyze something new from scratch and achieve the result, then I will be impressed.
Hoodfu@reddit
And this takeoff moment we're at, where they're training themselves, I think is where we'll start to see this be a common thing. Unfortunately people like to call "first!" just as this next evolution is getting started for the sake of being seen saying something profound.
catplusplusok@reddit
We are well past AGI according to vast majority of science fiction written before 2022. Give model access to game server and protocol, database to keep track of things it tried before and ability to write code to automate simple responses in the game and it will set a new speedrun record. Else if the requirement is to look at screen with a camera and interact with keyboard and mouse, it can't do that yet and you need different kind of ML like what Waymo uses for realtime responses. But also the question is, if it can do that in a couple of years, would people accept it as AGI or just move goalposts again?
Efficient_Ad_4162@reddit
Ok, but now you're conflating intelligence with like.. dozens of other skills. How many intelligent people out there couldn't do the same?
Do I think we've reached AGI? No, but AGI also doesn't mean 'good at everything'.

zer00eyz@reddit
> Supposedly we’ve reached AGI according to Jensen Huang and Marc Andreessen.
Behold AGI... Yet it is a system that cannot learn from its mistakes. Because training is not learning.
It's a fundamental gap that one has to ignore to keep the hype going. But the critique is foundational. Its at a base level, and akin to Diogenes plucking a chicken and pointing out that it fit Plato's definition of man...
audioen@reddit
The Elden Ring benchmark for general ability is interesting, but not all of us might agree on its salience.
I have fairly good conversations and produce decent AI work with a reliable workhorse called Qwen3.5-122B-A10B. I know without a doubt that the AI is more knowledgeable than I am -- it knows incredibly number of tiny facts that I don't. It also has fairly good ability to reason and work from set of known facts to conclusions that is pretty sound.
I am not going to claim this is AGI, but I might be tempted to say that in my own use case, which is coding applications, designing stuff, rewriting all sorts of crap, maintaining and updating documentation, test cases, and generally doing every manner of horrible drudgery that is part and parcel of programming, it is very good. I think it's faster to execute, catches on quicker on what I mean, and is more reliable than most of the actual human coworkers I deal with. At coding, I'm willing to call that specific model better than most people.

There's no definition or hard metric for it... its a marketing term

khichinhxac@reddit
It's hard to say since we can't even have a robust definition of intelligence in general. Some say even the fungi have their own kind of intelligence. If we say intelligence is something that can reason in someway, then the current LLM is only one kind of intelligence. It is surely very intelligent when it come to using human language. But I guess true AGI has to be something that can grow, a current LLM model baded on Transformer is still a fixed blackbox, if we want it to change, we have to make a new version. So it is not yet 'general'.
whiskybottle@reddit
And yet any off-the-shelf LLM could have written a better shitpost than this, thus AGI has been achieved.
No_Conclusion_82@reddit
We have no idea what the frontier labs have. Second we don't entirely know how soon we can cover the gaps for reasoning, memory, and modifying weights on the fly. Ultimately NOBODY can be certain, but people with closer access may have a better idea (however incentive to lie).

people posting about AGI without defining WHAT THE FUCK THEY MEAN deserve a good hard slap on the face. And then another one. And then if they don't apologize for being an idiot and immediately define what they mean or delete their post, they should fuck off.
sleepingsysadmin@reddit
AGI absolutely has happened.
What people seem to be missing lets put into a car analogy.
The model itself is the engine. GPT 5.4 is 1000 hp.
But if you only ever use a chat window with it, you have a powerful engine and no wheels. That's a generator, not a car.
If you take that 1000hp motor and throw it in a Citroen 2cv. You might get somewhere? aka pre-agentic.
If you take that motor and throw it in a decent chassis, decent tires, brakes, etc. Agentic. You are pretty good. You'll get lots done, but it's not a sports car yet.
When you get that 1000hp into a proper bugatti type setup. Suddenly you can use the engine to its full potential and that's AGI.
But what's really interesting. 600hp minimax or even 300hp Qwen3.5 can be in a lightweight chassis and suddenly it's a sports car as well.
The people who claim AGI are people who have their own personal B200s running SOTA mega models and have had the training time and usage to build up the memory that makes their setup unique but powerful.
ambient_temp_xeno@reddit
General in this sense would make everyone obsolete. So there's that.
Technical-Earth-3254@reddit
They're just doing this for the stakeholder (bc bubble). If the expectations were more realistic, the general public would probably also be less annoyed, but stocktards couldn't ruin the world economy then as effectively as they're doing it rn. Not a single person that actually halfway understands the situation would even consider AGI to be somewhere close.
retornam@reddit
We aren’t going to see AGI in our lifetime. Current models fail woefully on topics without enough training data and y’all are worried about AGI?
Important_Quote_1180@reddit
LLM is the wrong architecture. Quantum computing with thousands of parallel llms might be able to beat a few games but the visual input + latency is so far away from being able to work well. Game AI is an illusion and so is any semblance of intelligence in an LLM. Its got 0 common sense as that has no meaning to them.
mystery_biscotti@reddit
Yeah, I don't think we're there yet with current commercial offerings anyway. Attention is definitely not all you need.
If they have access to something we don't, and we don't know it because "trade secrets", that's something else entirely.
But I doubt Gemma 4 26B at home is gonna cut it by our current definition of AGI.
