METR’s Joel Becker on exponential Time Horizon Evals, Threat Models, and the Limits of AI Productivity
METR’s time-horizon curve remains remarkably straight, but it measures human task difficulty rather than agent runtime and omits much of real work’s tacit, visual, and organizational context.Opus 4.5 challenged Becker’s seven-month trend, while the larger risk threshold is a closed AI-R&D loop; compute slowdowns could restrain both scaling and algorithmic discovery, but open-ended evaluations must expose the missing operational tail.
