Advancements in Long-Term Systems
The next year or two will witness the development of systems that excel at longer-term actions. While being right 80% of the time may suffice for shorter sequences of actions, longer sequences require higher accuracy. We can expect to see significant performance improvements in longer-term tasks, leading to more capable systems that exhibit reasoning and planning abilities.
