Learnings from AGI-ASI Frontiers — March 23, 2026
Iteration Summary
- v1 Score: 92.5/100 (passed threshold)
- v2 Score: 94.7/100 (improved +2.2 points)
- Iterations: 2 (stopped after v2 as significant improvement achieved and score well above threshold)
What Changed Between v1 and v2
Citation Density: 8 → 10 (+4.0 weighted points)
Problem: v1 had uneven citation distribution:
- Story 1 (Enterprise): 3 links ✓
- Story 2 (Infrastructure): 1 link ✗ (needs 4-10)
- Story 3 (Security): 1 link ✗ (needs 4-10)
- Story 4 (Reasoning): 4 links ✓
- Story 5 (Alignment): 1 link ✓ (acceptable for single-paper story)
Result: Story 2 went from 1 → 7 links, Story 3 went from 1 → 4 links. Total inline citations increased from ~10 to ~20 (perfect distribution).
Concrete Improvements (Universal Applicability)
1. Infrastructure stories need MORE citations than other stories
- Why: Infrastructure involves many companies, acquisitions, partnerships, technical specs
- Heuristic: For chip/hardware/infrastructure stories, aim for 6-8 inline links (higher than standard 4-6)
- What to link: Acquisition announcements, partnership press releases, CEO quotes on social media, technical spec pages, related product launches
2. Security convergence stories need individual source attribution
- Why: When 4+ companies launch similar products on the same day, reader needs to verify each claim
- Heuristic: When synthesizing simultaneous launches, include a direct link for EACH company mentioned
- Pattern: "Company X announced Y capabilities. Company Z introduced W features."
3. Search for supplementary business context AFTER draft
- Why: Initial draft focuses on technical substance, but business context (funding, workforce expansion, partnerships) adds crucial strategic framing
- Method: After v1, search for
"[main story company] workforce" OR "funding" OR "partnership"with 24h filter - Applied here: Found OpenAI doubling workforce 4,500 → 8,000 (March 22, <24h old), added to Story 1 for strategic context
4. Link CEO quotes directly to social media when possible
- Why: Primary source > secondary reporting for executive statements
- Applied here: Andy Jassy quote about Trainium — linked directly to his X/Twitter post instead of TechCrunch paraphrase
- Heuristic: When article quotes a CEO, search
site:x.com [CEO name] [keyword from quote]to find original post
Pattern Classification
Universal (applies to all watchers)
✓ Infrastructure stories need 6-8 citations (higher than standard 4-6) ✓ Convergence stories (4+ simultaneous launches) need individual source links for each entity ✓ Link CEO quotes directly to social media when possible ✓ Search for business context (workforce/funding/partnerships) AFTER technical draftAGI-ASI Specific
✓ PE joint venture stories need links for: deal structure, financial terms, participating firms, competing offers ✓ Chip infrastructure stories need: acquisition history, partnership announcements, CEO social media, technical specsQuality Gate Reflection
What worked:
- Starting with high-quality sources (Reuters exclusive, TechCrunch lab tour, Check Point launch) → strong foundation
- Searching for convergence (4 security launches in 24h) → synthesis opportunity
- arXiv batch search (2603.18-20) → caught fresh papers in topic cluster
- Could have searched for OpenAI workforce expansion earlier (found it during citation improvement pass)
- "Reasoning Under Pressure" headline still generic — better alternative: "Dialogue Breaks Reasoning" or "Multi-Turn Reasoning Collapse"
Metrics Impact
| Metric | v1 | v2 | Change | |--------|----|----|--------| | Citation Density | 8/10 | 10/10 | +2 (+4.0 weighted) | | Total Score | 92.5 | 94.7 | +2.2 |
Lesson: Uneven citation distribution is the #1 fixable quality issue. Takes 5-10 minutes of targeted searching to add 6-10 links and gain 2-4 weighted points.
