MIT study finds AI agents ‘increasingly capable of performing complex tasks with limited human involvement’

by

Artificial intelligence systems known as “AI agents” are becoming increasingly capable of carrying out complex digital tasks with minimal human supervision, according to a new research project from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The 2025 AI Agent Index, compiled by MIT researchers, analyzes 30 prominent agentic AI systems and documents how they are built, deployed, and used across software ecosystems.

According to the project, “agentic AI systems are increasingly capable of performing complex tasks with limited human involvement,” reflecting a shift from simple chat-based assistants toward systems that can interact directly with software tools, websites, and enterprise platforms.

MIT study suggests computing power – not ‘secret sauce’ – drives most AI model breakthroughs

by

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that the rapid improvement of large language models is driven primarily by access to massive computing power rather than secret proprietary techniques developed by individual AI companies.

The paper, titled Is there “Secret Sauce” in Large Language Model Development?, analyzes 809 large language models released between October 2022 and March 2025 to understand what factors are responsible for improvements in AI capabilities.

The researchers examined benchmark performance and training data for the models and attempted to separate the sources of progress into four components: the amount of training compute used, shared algorithmic progress across the industry, developer-specific techniques, and model-specific design choices.

What is a Transparent Proxy?

by

Understanding how internet traffic is managed behind the scenes often feels like looking inside a glass wall – you know something is there, but you don’t always notice it. That is exactly where the concept of a transparent proxy fits.

It operates quietly, without asking users for permission or configuration, yet it plays a powerful role in how data flows across networks. So, what is a transparent proxy, and why does it matter so much in today’s digital infrastructure? [Read more…] about What is a Transparent Proxy?
