Chipmakers publish their own AI agent performance metrics. Here is why

Chipmakers are introducing their own performance evaluation standards tailored to the AI agent era, saying theoretical compute speed and single benchmark scores do not capture real workloads completed through multiple steps. They are also disclosing measurement conditions and methods to leave room for verification. Qualcomm tested a new GPU and AI benchmark tool designed to show itemised results. Arm published a CPU methodology for agentic AI and released rack-level comparison results, though the new metrics remain in a validation phase.

Arm unveils CPU benchmarking methodology for agentic AI

Arm has introduced new CPU performance evaluation criteria for the agentic AI era and released a benchmarking methodology developed with Fujitsu, Meta and OpenAI. The approach measures systems by the amount of work agents actually complete while maintaining responsiveness. Arm also disclosed independent validation results for its Arm AGI CPU by Signal65, including modeled rack-level performance comparisons with AMD EPYC Turin and sandbox creation latency measurements.

Silicon Valley AI researchers take up smoking to show faith AI will cure cancer, Palantir CTO says

Smoking is emerging as a new form of showing off among some AI researchers, based on claims that it signals belief AI will eventually cure cancer. Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar said some researchers started smoking to demonstrate strong faith in AI. He provided no names or evidence. Sankar also criticised Silicon Valley’s AI boom as mass mental illness and social delusion.
