AI-Powered Economic Boom: Predicting 30% to 100% Annual Growth by 2045

GATE, an AI and Automation Scenario Explorer built by Epoch AI, shows how AI automation might dramatically boost the global economy by replacing human labor with faster, more scalable computing power. It compares two scenarios: one where full automation leads to a 100% annual growth in Gross World Product (GWP), and a more conservative estimate with 30% yearly growth.

Starting around 2025, both scenarios predict an exponential rise in GWP, driven by a cycle where AI advancements increase economic output, which then funds further AI development. By 2045, this could result in a global economy 10 to 100 times larger than today, demonstrating AI's potential to transform economic growth over the coming decades.

ARC-AGI-2 : New Rankings Instrument to measure the race towards AGI

The ARC-AGI-2 benchmark, launched alongside the ARC Prize 2025 competition, has introduced a new ranking landscape for artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems as of March 25, 2025.

Designed to be a more challenging iteration of the original ARC-AGI, this updated benchmark retains its core format—tasks that are easy for humans but difficult for AI—while raising the bar for machine reasoning capabilities. Current rankings reveal a stark contrast between human and AI performance: humans consistently achieve scores above 95% with minimal training, whereas leading AI models struggle significantly.

Notably, OpenAI's o3, which previously scored an impressive 75.7% on ARC-AGI-1’s semi-private evaluation set, is projected to drop below 30% on ARC-AGI-2, even with high compute resources. This new ranking underscores ARC-AGI-2’s effectiveness in exposing current AI limitations.

I had an idea. So, I was thinking about uploading a ten minute discussion about the weekly updates of AI in the form of a podcast through Gemini Audio Overview. I use the Gemini Audio Overview daily to learn about new stuffs and I think people will like the idea of weekly update on AI market for ten minutes on Sunday Morning.

Should I try it out? Please like if you think this idea is cool. I will make it only once per week and it will help people digest the weekly updates easily.

Unveiling Gemini 2.5 Pro: Google DeepMind's Experimental AI Trial for Advanced Users Gemini 2.5 Pro, an experimental AI model by Google DeepMind, has been released on a trial basis to select Gemini Advanced subscribers as of March 25, 2025. This rollout targets…
I shared its early sighting on my Telegram channel on March 25, 2025, just hours before Google DeepMind's official announcement.

I gave my subscribers a first look at this experimental model, sparking discussions about its advanced features like the 2M token context window and multimodal capabilities.

Anyways, it is official.
Gemini 2.5 Pro, recently released on a trial basis by Google DeepMind, showcases impressive advancements in AI capabilities, as evidenced by its performance across multiple benchmarks, including reasoning and knowledge on Humanity’s Last Exam, science on GPQA Diamond, and mathematics on AIME 2025, where it consistently outperformed models like OpenAI’s o3-mini and Claude 3.7 Sonnet.

This experimental model introduces a "thinking phase" to enhance reasoning for complex tasks, positioning it as a strong contender in the AI landscape. Additionally, Gemini 2.5 Pro aligns with the growing trend of Agentic AI, where
systems autonomously tackle intricate problems, adapt to user needs, and perform advanced functions like coding and personalization, potentially redefining how AI interacts with and supports human endeavors.

OpenAI Unveils Next-Gen Image Model: A Leap in Visual AI Innovation

OpenAI launched a significant upgrade to its image generation capabilities, integrating a new model into its GPT-4o framework.

This release, announced via a livestream by CEO Sam Altman, marks a shift from the earlier DALL-E system to a more advanced, native image generation feature within ChatGPT and Sora. Unlike its predecessors, this model excels at blending text and imagery with high accuracy, leveraging GPT-4o’s knowledge base to produce detailed, context-aware visuals.

It’s designed for practical use, offering improved "binding" (correctly linking attributes to objects) and legible text rendering—capabilities demonstrated through examples like multi-panel comics and scientific diagrams.

The rollout began immediately for all tiers of ChatGPT users—Free, Plus, Pro, and Team—positioning it as a versatile tool for visual communication, though free users may face usage limits similar to those previously set for DALL-E 3.

Abay Token: Revolutionizing Global Remittances with Speed, Affordability, and Transparency

Abay Token (ABAY) is a token built on the Solana blockchain to revolutionize cross-border remittances by offering faster, cheaper, and more transparent money transfers. Traditional remittance services often suffer from high fees, slow processing, and limited accessibility.

ABAY tackles these issues by leveraging Solana’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, enabling near-instant, secure transactions with fees as low as 0.5%.

The ABAY token has a total supply of 10 billion, allocated across different parties. Token holders can stake ABAY for rewards, and the protocol features a 0.1% burn on each transaction to reduce supply over time. The project roadmap begins in Q1 2025 with smart contract development and a private sale, followed by the public sale and DEX listing in Q2.

Learned about this yesterday. Is this a rug pull (🔴) or a legit project (🔵).

I am really excited to see how the Chinese will react to the new updates from Claude (New Form of Reasoner), OpenAI (New Model Generation for Image, Audio Update, and LLM Model Update for 4o), and Gemini (AI Studio, Audio Overview).

The Chinese seem to follow open-source model. If they can generate similar prototype of products over the next 12 months and make it free, then the race for AGI will be very interesting.

It might be like the Cold War, when both countries have their own AGIs
