Import AI 470: No rights for machines; automating environment generation with SPADE; and building better GPU kernels with Hawkeye

METR research shows AI's effects on scientific discovery are uneven: cybersecurity vulnerability reporting accelerated sharply in 2026 compared with 2025, mathematics accelerated only modestly, and algorithmic progress in AI research itself showed no significant acceleration. A multi-university team proposed SPADE, alternating LLM generation of executable training environments with solving them. Qwen3-30B-A3B averaged 58.3 on the game-environment suite, 8.1 above baseline.
