AI is entering a new phase where the focus shifts from developing methods to defining and evaluating problems, marking a transition to the "second half" of AI. This change is driven by the success of reinforcement learning (RL) that now generalizes across various complex tasks, requiring a reassessment of how we approach AI training and evaluation. The article emphasizes the importance of language pre-training and reasoning in enhancing AI capabilities beyond traditional benchmarks.
