A new MIT paper tracks more than 100,000 GitHub developers before and after AI coding tools. Files edited surged 300%, commits climbed 180%, but actual releases grew only 30%. The bottleneck is not the AI — it is review, coordination, and product judgment.
AutoLab Benchmark: Persistence, Not Brilliance, Predicts AI Research Agent Performance Across 36 Tasks
A new Stanford/MIT/NVIDIA/Google paper tests 17 frontier models on 36 long-horizon engineering tasks requiring iterative improvement, not single-shot solutions.
