  "content": "Frontier labs' own 2026 reporting describes AI R&D automation as partial: Anthropic reports no measured part of its AI R&D as fully autonomous and says large gaps persist in its models' judgment when choosing goals in engineering and research, while OpenAI's internal figures show AI completing about half of 2 to 4 hour tasks and a third of 8 to 16 hour tasks without human intervention. Research judgment (which directions to pursue, which experiments matter, how to read results) operates over longer horizons than these tasks and is exactly where the labs report the largest gaps. So humans, who choose goals and oversee the remaining work, still supply most of that judgment.",
