In this episode of Agents of Intelligence, we dive deep into two groundbreaking protocols shaping the future of multi-agent Large Language Model (LLM) orchestration: the Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). A2A acts as the social glue between autonomous AI agents, allowing them to communicate, delegate tasks, and negotiate how best to serve the user—almost like microser...

In this episode, we unpack a groundbreaking new way of measuring AI capability—not by test scores, but by time. Drawing from the recent METR paper "Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Tasks," we explore the concept of the 50% task-completion time horizon—a novel metric that asks: How long could a human work on a task before today's AI can match them with 50% success? We’ll explore how this time-...
