According to the Last Week in AI podcast episode #228, the show covered several key AI developments including OpenAI’s GPT-5.2, which the source describes as “OpenAI’s latest move in the agentic AI battle.”
The episode also discussed research titled “Towards a Science of Scaling Agent Systems,” focusing on the challenges and approaches to scaling AI agent architectures. Additionally, the podcast explored what it characterizes as “weird generalization” phenomena in AI systems.
The Last Week in AI podcast regularly aggregates and discusses significant developments in artificial intelligence. This particular episode (#228) appears to focus on the emerging competition in agentic AI systems—AI that can act autonomously to complete tasks—and the technical challenges involved in making such systems more powerful and reliable.
Note: Limited details were available from the source material, which consisted primarily of a headline and brief description. The specific content of the discussions, technical details about GPT-5.2, or findings from the scaling research were not provided in the source.
