Capabilities of GPT-5 on Multimodal Medical Reasoning https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.08224

AI Agents are terrible at long-horizon tasks. Even the new GPT-5 model struggles with long-horizon tasks. This is one of the most pressing challenges when building AI agents. Pay attention, AI devs! This is a neat paper that went largely unnoticed. Here are my notes: https://x.com/omarsar0/status/1956325762719797266

We just open-sourced an AI framework that does something crazy: It actually explains itself. Most agentic AI systems are black boxes – you ask a question, magic happens, you get an answer. But what if you could watch the entire decision-making process unfold in real-time? https://x.com/weaviate_io/status/1958568536420299184

Friend of mine designed an agent that can run on top of any llm, gpt-4 or Llama or whatever. The central idea is all it’s thoughts are visible and in English, you can see the entire thought process. GPT-5 keeps changing the code to hide the internal thoughts. It’s pretty creepy.”” / X https://x.com/YosarianTwo/status/1956559472375034005
