Research from AI2 and Epoch AI estimates that approximately 80% of compute spent building frontier AI models goes to research and development rather than training the final model. Chinese AI labs benefit from cost advantages by openly sharing research findings across competitors, reducing duplicated R&D work in ways that mirror open-source software dynamics more closely than Western closed-model approaches. This structural difference could allow Chinese labs to sustain longer development cycles than outside observers predict, though broader adoption would require companies to stop forking open tools into proprietary internal versions.

Finance teams are using ChatGPT Work to automate the creation of monthly business reviews, reporting packages, variance analysis, model validation, and scenario planning based on actual financial data. The tool processes real work inputs directly to generate these standard finance deliverables without manual rebuilding. This reduces time spent on repetitive report assembly and allows finance staff to focus on analysis and interpretation rather than document preparation.

Google DeepMind released Co-Scientist, a multi-agent AI system built with Gemini that generates, debates, and refines scientific hypotheses across life sciences and other fields. The system uses six specialized agents plus a supervisor to iteratively explore research directions through cycles of idea generation, peer-review-style critique, and hypothesis refinement, with the majority of computation dedicated to verifying claims against scientific literature and databases. Researchers can register to access Co-Scientist through a new tool called Hypothesis Generation, with rollout beginning in the coming weeks and enterprise access via Google Cloud planned for expansion.

This article is a newsletter roundup discussing various AI agent developments and products, including Claude Code agents in terminals, OpenAI's new Realtime models, and OpenAI's $4 billion partnership with consulting firms to deploy AI systems. OpenAI is investing $4 billion in a new deployment company formed by acquiring Tomoro, a 150-person AI consulting firm, to help other companies build AI systems and upskill knowledge workers. The change positions AI agents and coding tools as central to enterprise software development, with multiple platforms offering agent capabilities through integrations like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex.

Parameter Golf, a competition involving over 1,000 participants and 2,000 submissions, explored how AI assists researchers in machine learning, coding automation, quantization, and model architecture within constrained settings. The event generated more than 2,000 submissions across multiple research categories. The findings suggest that structured AI-assisted competitions can identify practical approaches to optimization and model development that researchers can apply to their own work.
