How do you measure an AI boom?

What Happened

A chart created by METR, a Berkeley-based nonprofit, has become the dominant metric for measuring artificial intelligence progress. Researchers, investors, and industry analysts intensely scrutinize the "METR time-horizon" chart to assess whether the AI boom is accelerating, decelerating, or plateauing. The chart parallels historical technological revolutions tracked through Moore's Law and internet growth metrics.
