Assessment

Why?

Strongest counted support: OpenAI says it reached its automated research-intern goal for systems handling scoped tasks that could take skilled researchers days. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The transcription says OpenAI stated that current systems are exceeding AI research interns.

Review gaps: independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Leans supported.

Qualifications

• OpenAI defines research intern capacity as performing specified multi-day tasks under human direction.

  Automated research intern is defined by well-defined tasks with human direction, not a general claim that output exceeds a human intern.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
