Summary

METR tracks frontier AI progress through task-completion time horizons, measuring the length of tasks AI agents can complete at defined success rates.

Why This Matters

Time horizon is a practical AGI-relevance metric because it connects model capability to autonomous work duration and risk assessment.

Evidence

METR presents Time Horizon 1.1 as a current evaluation line and describes task-completion time horizon research as a central way to compare autonomous AI capability.

Risk And Safety Notes

Treat time horizon as one capability indicator, not a complete AGI measure. Avoid overclaiming from a single metric.

Watch Next

Watch whether time-horizon reporting becomes a standard disclosure in frontier model system cards, risk reports, and predeployment evaluations.
