Compute Thresholds
Analysis of compute thresholds as regulatory triggers, examining current implementations (EU AI Act at 10^25 FLOP, US EO at 10^26 FLOP), their effectiveness as capability proxies, and core challenges including algorithmic efficiency improvements that may render static thresholds obsolete within 3-5 years.
