## Key Facts
- METR capability curves show steady climb across cognitive benchmarks with no plateau as of March 2026
- Approximately 100 problems transferred from mathematical conjecture to solved status with AI assistance
- Terence Tao describes AI as complementary research tool that changed his workflow
- Ginkgo Bioworks with GPT-5 compressed 150 years of protein engineering work to weeks
- Noah Smith defines 'jagged intelligence' as human-level language/reasoning combined with superhuman speed/memory/tirelessness
