Box CEO Aaron Levie argues AI is shifting from chat-rate output to fanning out arbitrarily large work across parallel agents—turning productivity gains from 20-50% into ones with no real upper limit. Coding already shows this; cyber and life sciences are next. Greg Brockman adds that frontier models with lots of test-time compute are becoming the engine of scientific discovery.
