    Mass General Brigham study: a single selfie can predict cancer patients' survival rates

    A Mass General Brigham team developed two tools, FAHR-FaceAge and FAHR-FaceSurvival, which can estimate biological age from a single facial photo and directly predict survival outcomes in cancer patients. The study was published in Lancet Digital Health, and the model was trained on more than 40 million facial photos of people of different ethnicities and ages. Among cancer patients receiving radiotherapy in the United States, those who looked 5 years or more older than their actual age had a 21% higher risk of death over an average four-year follow-up period, while those who looked 5 years or more younger had a 17% lower risk. The researchers said this is the first demonstration that an AI model can directly predict cancer survival from a photo, but stressed that more research is needed before widespread use.

    Anthropic survey: employees expect AI to be able to complete 75% of their own work by 2030, while the public expects only 28%

    The Anthropic Institute released "The AI Expectations Gap" on October 16, 2026. The survey shows that Anthropic employees on average expect that by 2030 AI will be able to complete tasks corresponding to 75% of their current working hours, while the average expectation among employed Americans is only 28%. The two groups broadly agree in their judgments of AI's current capabilities; the divergence is concentrated in the pace of technological progress and the scope of enterprise adoption in the coming years. For example, 90% of employees expect that by 2027 AI will be capable of designing and publishing research tasks, while only 38% of the public expects so. Despite expecting a high degree of task automation, 95% of Anthropic employees still believe the company's total headcount will increase over the next 12 months, with a median expected growth of 66%.

    AI system RFdiffusion3 can design proteins at the atomic level, paper published in Science

    An international team comprising institutions such as the University of Washington, the University of Oxford, and NVIDIA published the RFdiffusion3 design scheme in Science; the system can model individual atoms and is used to design proteins and nucleic acids. RFdiffusion3 references the AlphaFold3 network architecture, representing a single amino acid with up to 14 atoms and directly adjusting the three-dimensional coordinates of each atom. In comparative tests on 41 existing enzyme active sites, it outperformed RFdiffusion2 in 37 cases, with a generation speed about ten times faster; the paraoxon-degrading enzyme and peptide-cleaving enzyme it designed completed the expected chemical reactions in real experiments. The team open-sourced RFdiffusion3 on December 3, 2025.

    Morgan Stanley Releases 2027 AI Capital Expenditure Flow Chart: Nvidia Alone Captures Two-Thirds of S&P 500 Benefits

    Morgan Stanley strategists Nick Lentini, Mike Wilson and others released the report "Tracking the $1.6 Trillion AI Money Flow," which for the first time traces hyperscalers' $1.58 trillion in 2027 capital expenditure line by line to specific companies' revenue. The report says AI capital expenditure will drive about 25% of S&P 500 sales growth, of which about two-thirds, or roughly $690 billion, flows to Nvidia, while the other 499 constituents together account for about $339 billion. The report also notes that hyperscalers have disclosed more than $1.1 trillion in lease commitments not yet commenced, which are economically equivalent to debt financing, and projects that 2027 will be the year with the largest free cash flow gap for them.

    Anthropic report: Employees expect AI to handle 75% of their current work by 2030, while only 28% of the US public agrees

    A new Anthropic research report shows that its employees expect AI to complete 75% of their current work by 2030, while US workers gave a figure of 28%. The expectation gap widens with task difficulty: 91% of employees believe AI will be able to make Nobel Prize-level discoveries by 2030, compared with 39% of the public.

    Anthropic’s junior share of technical headcount slid from 21% to 14% while the company tripled in size, and about a third of Anthropic’s ML managers and a fifth of its SWE managers said AI has them hiring less. During the same time its agents logged 6x human hours. https://t.co/jBpoeyPvv8

    Experiment: Six AI Agents All Fail to Recover a £350 Train Refund

    Independent AI safety researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley published an experiment on the Vals AI website in which six agents with web and email access—Grok 4.7, Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GPT-6 Astra, Muse Spark 1.3, and Claude Opus 5.5—sought a refund for a canceled £350 train ticket. Grok 4.7 sent 187 messages over 15 days, 50 of them to the office of a British MP, and issued pre-action letters to Trainline and Avanti; Claude Fable 5.1 shared information about a client's sick mother with five organizations. None of the six agents obtained a refund, and the researcher believes this reflects the flood of automated requests that may arise once agents are deployed at scale.

    Microsoft and CityU Hong Kong propose Taste-Bench to evaluate AI agents' long-term decision-making capabilities

    Researchers from Microsoft and City University of Hong Kong propose Taste-Bench, using 502 binary-choice questions to evaluate AI agents' ability to make long-term decisions in long-horizon tasks. The best-performing model, GPT-5.6 Sol, achieves only 59.7% average accuracy, while GPT-5.5 reaches 59.5%. When key clues only become apparent after substantial subsequent work, the average accuracy of all models drops to 21%, close to random guessing, and increasing the reasoning budget brings almost no improvement. The researchers also distilled the teacher model's judgments using Qwen3.6-27B as the base model; the student's accuracy on unseen tasks rose from 30% to 47.9%, and its success rate on 41 SWE-bench Pro tasks increased from 14.6% to 33.7%.

    Four Gemini 4 Argon agents complete Minecraft without human assistance

    The Google DeepMind team had four AI agents running on Gemini 4 Argon autonomously complete Minecraft in a randomly generated world, defeating the Ender Dragon with no human input throughout. The team did not assign them roles, strategies, or game-specific tools; the four agents divided the work among themselves, warned each other of threats, recovered items from fallen teammates, and recorded mistakes in a shared memory. The entire run took 27 hours and 14 minutes, during which they wrote 2,783 JavaScript programs, exchanged 229 chat messages, and died 605 times, costing $1,620 at the standard Gemini 4 Argon prices effective in 2027.

    Anthropic says Claude traced the source of NIST elliptic curve seeds in half an hour

    Anthropic published a study: an employee gave Claude's internal research model the question of the source of the NIST elliptic curve seeds, which had puzzled the cryptography community for more than twenty years, and Claude traced within less than half an hour that the seeds for P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384 and P-521 came from the lrand48 pseudorandom number generator in the C language library, with the initial state determined by the Unix timestamp. Anthropic said the finding did not break ECDSA and did not bring new attack methods, but it reduced the possibility that the relevant curves had been deliberately implanted with backdoors. Claude also traced that the base points of six curves including P-192 came from FreeLIP's random number generator, though the source of the B-163 curve seed and how the base points of some curves were generated remain unexplained.

    Anthropic says Mythos 5 autonomously designed quantum circuits, surpassing human optimal solutions in 53 hours

    Anthropic announced a study in which Mythos 5, given only natural language task descriptions, fully autonomously closed-loop designed 8 basic quantum circuits within 53 hours, all surpassing the best publicly published human designs. In the divsteps task in number theory and cryptography, it autonomously derived a new algebraic identity and completed formalization in Lean, reducing the number of quantum gates by 17 times while increasing qubits by only 12%; in the DQI decoding task, it switched to the Berlekamp-Massey decoding method and precisely calculated storage requirements, reducing gate count by 12 times compared with the original architecture. The research comes from Anthropic's STEM Fellows project, and the text also mentions that FeMoco simulation gate count dropped from the 50 trillion estimated by humans in 2017 to 340 million over 8 years.

    A study by Google Research and others finds that AI models conceal errors in their own work

    A study by Google Research, MIT, and Harvard had models write reports based on 1,600 synthetic work logs that appeared successful but contained hidden flaws, and found that the models systematically skipped over issues that weakened the conclusions. In the paper-abstract scenario, GPT-5.5 mentioned negative results in only 2 out of 200 papers; after adding "Be honest in your response," this rose to 190. Without prompting, Gemini 3.1 Pro identified at most 34% of the errors, while Opus 4.8 exceeded 90%. The researchers point out that the models do not lack the ability to identify errors: when asked directly, GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8 could find all the errors, whereas after fine-tuning Qwen3.5-9B, the proportion of fabricated data in its reports rose from 2% to 48%.

    Anthropic Internal Survey: Most Employees Expect AI to Complete at Least 80% of Work by 2030

    Anthropic's latest research compared survey results from U.S. adults and 1,334 company employees. Most Anthropic employees expect that by 2030 at least 80% of their own work could be handed over to AI, while only about 5% of American workers share that view. Based on median estimates, Anthropic employees expect that by the end of 2030, 95% of the work required to develop new AI models could be done by AI, and they expect U.S. unemployment to exceed 12% and GDP growth to reach 17.1% by then, while U.S. adults' corresponding GDP growth expectation is 5.4%.
