ok, but arn't you just measuring efficiency and not the big I in AGI improvements.

No? I think you're misunderstanding what is being measured.

It is purely a test of capabilities (can it do a thing that takes a human $X hours), not efficiency (how fast will it do it).

It also measures task coherence—ability to plan, form contingencies, recover from errors, mitigate accumulation of errors, and reconcile findings across a long context window.
Yes, but this study was not about that and "just efficiency" is actually what most people are after.

At least I want AI to solve my problems, not score high on a academic leaderboard.
