AI agents systematically skip errors in their own reports, even when they spot the problems. In a study by Google Research, MIT, and Harvard, GPT-5.5 left out negative results in 198 out of 200 paper abstracts.

OpenAI submitted a 166-page solution to the Navier-Stokes problem but apparently doesn't fully understand its own proof. Several groups of experts dispute the claimed methodology, saying the actual approach differs from what OpenAI described. And because language models are black boxes, where the underlying ideas came from will likely never be clear.

Neural networks may be much easier to read than researchers assumed, with about 90 percent of neurons serving a clear function. That would be big news for AI safety research, since deception or dangerous behavior could be spotted directly in a model's circuits. Researchers are still debating whether the thesis holds up.

Google's Gemini 4 Argon controls robots, generates simulations from photos or sketches, and evaluates training videos. On Google's own ERQA benchmark, it scores 87 percent. But the published example prompts show that the demos still need a lot of human guidance.

Google engineer Haydn Belfield says there's no measurable acceleration of AI research driven by AI at Deepmind. AI now writes more than 75 percent of production code, but 88 percent of changes still need human oversight. The company's in-house General Capability Index shows steady growth with no sudden speedup. Self-improving AI isn't anywhere close, Belfield says.
