What happened

AI digest

On October 10, Hacker News surfaced Epoch AI's preliminary InnovationEval results, which test whether AI can carry out AI R&D on its own. The run covered Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol and asked whether each could independently discover a machine learning innovation on par with the human-proposed SDPO. Neither model did so on its own. Only preliminary results are disclosed, with no further progress reported.
