  "evaluation": "If the premises hold, the conclusion is much more likely for the tasks these evaluations cover. One broad study found 3 judged-novel solutions out of 252, and a second, independent end-to-end test turned up no discovery above a minimal notability bar. The step is inductive, not certain. It leans on two judgments of novelty, one by LLM judges and one by expert comparison, and on a task set that may favour tuning known methods. It also covers few tasks and models, so other long-horizon evaluations could differ. Because the two studies are independent, their agreement carries more weight than either alone.",

  "reasoning": "First pass. Read both sources. Created one argument (convergent evidence from two independent evaluations) and placed the Epoch passages on it; the second passage was deduplicated. Corrected the Epoch instance's passage so it is the one that states the novelty finding, and filled speakers and dates. No subclaims: the claim is a narrowly scoped empirical summary whose evidence is the two studies themselves. Importance set to 0.5, contestation 0.45. Assessed supported, credence 0.88. Generalization to internal lab systems is flagged as outside the claim's scope.",

(Aug 2026): 7 models (GPT-5.5, Gemini-3.1-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, Kimi-K2.7-Code, among others), a shared harness plus some native harnesses, 36 tasks; LLM judges found 3 of 252 best solutions novel. Epoch InnovationEval (Oct 2026): one SDPO-rediscovery task; uncontaminated Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol produced nothing above 'moderately interesting'; the memorized successors gained mostly by reimplementation or tuning. Memorization inflates scores rather than novelty, and the task design may favour optimization. The assessment says neither study speaks to internal lab systems in late 2026.",
