We have entered the era of reasoning models and agentic workflows. Here is the factual landscape of Artificial General Intelligence in 2025.
Artificial General Intelligence represents AI systems with human-like adaptability across all intellectual domains.
The past year has seen unprecedented advances in AI capabilities, pushing us closer to AGI than ever before.
Unified Intelligence
on AIME 2025 (no tools). OpenAI's most capable model combining reasoning, agents, and multimodal understanding.
Deep Thinking
token context window. Google's biggest model upgrade yet, with a new Deep Think mode for harder reasoning.
Agentic Excellence
on SWE-bench Verified. A top-tier model for coding, agents, and computer use.
Reasoning Champion
on AIME 2024. The successor to o1, with 20% fewer major errors on complex reasoning tasks.
When leading researchers and industry leaders expect AGI to arrive.
How AI benchmarks have improved from 2024 to 2025.
The massive build-out powering the race to AGI.
The four forces accelerating the path to AGI.
Models that 'think' for seconds or minutes before answering.
Context windows expanded to 1 Million tokens.
Training on high-quality AI-generated reasoning traces.
Claude Haiku 4.5 costs $1/M tokens—100x cheaper than 2023 frontier models.
Technical hurdles still on the path to true AGI.
Models still lack long-term, evolvable memory of users.
Agents still fail on edge cases during long tasks.
Understanding physics and causality remains difficult.
Power grids cannot keep up with GPU cluster demands.
Human-generated training data is nearly exhausted.
Aligning superhuman reasoning models remains unsolved.
The opportunities and challenges AGI will bring.
AI agents are automating entire workflows, not just tasks.
AlphaFold 3 and AI-driven labs are accelerating research.
AI assistants are improving diagnostic support and clinical workflows.
Knowledge work is being restructured around AI capabilities.
Photorealistic AI content challenges information integrity.
EU AI Act rollout underway; global governance frameworks emerging.
Organizations establishing AI readiness now will be positioned to thrive. The key areas: AI strategy, infrastructure, governance, and workforce development.
"AGI, probably the most transformative moment in human history, is on the horizon."
— Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind
