    How researchers use Claude for scientific discovery

    Researchers primarily use Claude to analyze data and write content, accounting for about one-third of Claude conversations and nearly half of Claude Code conversations; usage is higher for cognitive tasks (such as computer science and statistics) and lower for tasks like data collection and idea generation; about 40% of respondents expect AI models to independently complete entire research projects by 2030.

    METR's independent evaluation of Anthropic's AI R&D acceleration in October 2026

    METR evaluation shows that Anthropic's model capability improvement rate has roughly doubled since March 2024 to October 2025. Most of the acceleration is attributed to AI-assisted R&D, but there is significant uncertainty; the AECI benchmark score growth rate is approximately 1.9 times per year (95% confidence interval 1.5-2.8 times), suggesting about two years of progress in one year. Most of the key evidence has been redacted by Anthropic, making it difficult for the public to judge independently.

    The NEO-VLA framework eliminates fixed visual encoders to enhance the robustness of action strategies

    NEO-VLA framework eliminates fixed visual encoders by allowing action strategies to directly access deep visual representations in the network, achieving stronger robustness in various manipulation scenarios and distribution shifts. The framework uses lightweight convolutional layers to tokenize images and allows visual representations to evolve together with language in the backbone network, enabling action experts to obtain information from different depths of instruction-conditioned visual representations. Layer exploration experiments show that action key signals often reach their peak before the final visual representation is formed.

    How does multi-round reinforcement learning improve LLM agent performance?

    Multi-round reinforcement learning (RL) performs excellently on long-term tasks, but performance gains highly depend on interaction constraints. By evaluating different sampling widths K and interaction depths T using Pass@(K,T), it was found that the advantage of trajectory-level RL depends on sufficient episode budgets, and the advantage significantly decreases when the budget is tightened.
