Binary IQ refers to an LLM's ability to correctly answer simple yes/no questions when all relevant information is in the context window, and the author hypothesizes this is the main bottleneck for reliable agents.
Best current LLMs (e.g., GPT-4o, Claude 3.5) show high in-distribution IQ (~125) but much lower out-of-distribution IQ (~75), making agents unreliable despite high average success rates.
Collective IQ suggests that groups of average-IQ individuals or models cannot exceed the decision-making capability of the smartest member, analogous to LLM agents being unable to surpass the intrinsic binary IQ of the underlying network.

Wisdom is defined as knowing what to do in most situations, reflecting a high average outcome across various scenarios.
Intelligence is characterized by exceptionally high performance in specific situations, akin to peaks on a graph.
The relationship between wisdom and intelligence is that they represent the average and maximum of the same performance curve.
