OpenAI’s “automated research intern” is an internal measurement claim, not a portable productivity benchmark
OpenAI’s research-intern milestone separates agent runtime, spending, activity, and research progress into distinct measurement layers.

Date filters can enforce retrieval eligibility, but historical claims need a separate check of what each result contained at the cutoff.

FDA is considering a competency-based evaluation model for generative-AI medical devices. Its discussion paper offers diligence questions about the finished device, intended use, clinical confirmation, and postmarket monitoring—not adopted requirements.

A sandbox label does not describe every reachable system. Review egress, intermediaries, credentials, blast radius, kill authority, forensics, and notification before the run.
