- benjtodd notes TasteVal, a benchmark measuring research taste, began accelerating exactly when AI R&D started speeding up.
- Quoting Peter Wildeford: METR reports AI progress began accelerating around November 2025 — matching P-Zero's independent TasteVal findings and the timing of Claude Code taking off.
- Multiple independent sources converging on the same inflection point are read as an early signal of AI-driven R&D acceleration.
