> we believe [Mythos 5] is likely unable to fully and reliably automate R&D for frontier projects spanning multiple weeks
this is good news, right? right...?
Depends whether "unable to fully automate" means "needs occasional human checkpoints" or "slowly stops caring about your actual goal." Pretty different.
Probably there will always be frontier surface which frontier model of a given generation would not be able to automate.
It is certainly good news for those who are selling all these tokens.
