MTSlive's model-outcome tracker reports that an Anthropic internal model produced an independent refutation of the Exponential Time Hypothesis, discovered on October 16. It's the latest case of frontier lab models independently arriving at similar academic results — what Beff Jezos calls 'superintelligences scooping each other academically,' quipping that while the substrate for intelligence may change, certain academic traditions don't.
