Field notes
Entries are ordered newest first and include labs such as Google DeepMind, Sakana AI, METR, OpenAI, and Anthropic. The page records check dates and certainty or replication status; some entries also carry contradiction or omission notes, including a Sakana benchmark correction distinguishing research results from coding benchmarks. Its deadline panel says OpenAI's earlier September 2026 automated research-intern date was met by OpenAI's own measure, while separately counting toward March 2028.
