Clearly, LLMs have improved since bursting onto the public scene in 2022. New frontier models are released by the big players seemingly every few weeks. These updates expand capabilities beyond simple conversations, and include file uploads and downloads. There are now sub-models that provide reasoning, thinking, and deep research, all of which tackle thornier problems and are less prone to hallucinations. But the world of AI is bigger than LLMs. Agentic browsers now perform tasks directly on websites, and similarly-powered desktop agents can create, organize, or delete files directly on your computer. Wearable AI devices, including smartglasses with digital displays in the lenses, will only become more varied and prominent going forward. The marriage of AI and robotics promises to revolutionize entire industries, not to mention life inside the home. The future will bring even more advances. We'll close by exploring what ramifications for education might arise from artificial intelligence that matches, or even exceeds, human intelligence.
