What is AutoGPT?

AutoGPT is building a workforce: experts now get schedules, credits, and their own briefings.

The last three releases all advance one idea. v0.7.0 split the Copilot into experts with scoped sessions, identity context and a marketplace, on a rebuilt Better Auth foundation. v0.7.1 gives those experts schedules — attribution, triggers, thread posts and a credit guardrail — plus editable Soul documents, collapsible expert chat groups in the sidebar, and a briefing-first home built around a morning briefing and unified needs-attention view. Tavily search/extract/crawl/map blocks and Claude Sonnet 5 support land in the same release. Underneath, v0.6.69 had already taught the copilot bot to post into Slack and Telegram unprompted.

What is Snorkel AI?

Snorkel has stopped labeling data and started defining what agent competence means.

The output is a research and benchmarking program, not a release feed. Recent work argues that single-episode benchmarks measure the wrong thing: agents should be scored across dependent states, tool calls, simulated users, approval rules, and learning carried between tasks. Concrete artifacts back the argument — Senior SWE-Bench with 100 tasks from real pull requests and half the set held private, GDPval+ for professional reasoning, and collaboration on Agents' Last Exam with Berkeley RDI. Alongside these, Snorkel publishes head-to-head evaluations of frontier model releases and hosts a reading group that surfaces outside research.

AutoGPT is building a workforce: experts now get schedules, credits, and their own briefings.

◆ Current state

The last three releases all advance one idea. v0.7.0 split the Copilot into experts with scoped sessions, identity context and a marketplace, on a rebuilt Better Auth foundation. v0.7.1 gives those experts schedules — attribution, triggers, thread posts and a credit guardrail — plus editable Soul documents, collapsible expert chat groups in the sidebar, and a briefing-first home built around a morning briefing and unified needs-attention view. Tavily search/extract/crawl/map blocks and Claude Sonnet 5 support land in the same release. Underneath, v0.6.69 had already taught the copilot bot to post into Slack and Telegram unprompted.

◆ Where it's heading

The platform is converging on persistent, scheduled, individually-billed agents that report back rather than wait to be asked. Scheduling with a credit guardrail is the piece that makes that economically safe; Soul documents are the piece that makes each expert configurable by its owner. The briefing-first home is the consumption side of the same design — the user opens to what the agents did overnight. Release cadence is roughly weekly and the contributor list is small and consistent.

◆ Prediction

Given scheduling, credit guardrails and a marketplace now coexist, per-expert monetisation or publishing by outside authors is the obvious next step. The Soul document format is also likely to grow structure.

5.0

Snorkel has stopped labeling data and started defining what agent competence means.

◆ Current state

The output is a research and benchmarking program, not a release feed. Recent work argues that single-episode benchmarks measure the wrong thing: agents should be scored across dependent states, tool calls, simulated users, approval rules, and learning carried between tasks. Concrete artifacts back the argument — Senior SWE-Bench with 100 tasks from real pull requests and half the set held private, GDPval+ for professional reasoning, and collaboration on Agents' Last Exam with Berkeley RDI. Alongside these, Snorkel publishes head-to-head evaluations of frontier model releases and hosts a reading group that surfaces outside research.

◆ Where it's heading

Snorkel is moving from evaluation-as-scoring to evaluation-as-training signal: the milestone framing scores intermediate progress, the continual-learning thread treats improvement across a task sequence as the measured quantity, and the newest reading-group post pushes further upstream still, into how much a reasoning model should be trained before it is tested. Publishing benchmarks with private splits and running public model comparisons builds the position that Snorkel is the neutral scorer, which is what makes the enterprise environments business defensible. The through-line is that measurement, not model capability, is the bottleneck.

◆ Prediction

Expect the milestone and continual-learning threads to converge into a named benchmark or environment suite with the same public-private split as Senior SWE-Bench. The feed carries research, talks, and reading-group recaps rather than platform releases, so it does not indicate what ships in the product.
