SITUATION EXPLAINED: Opus 5.5 designs better AI experiments than expert researchers, at 1/30th the cost. • P-Zero Research measures how well models design and interpret AI experiments, and finds that ability has doubled every 3 months since December 2025 • Opus 5.5 matches the best expert score with 17 GPU hours instead of 40, for $280 against $9,123 • That's 30x cheaper at API prices, and possibly 300x at what it actually costs the labs • Neither the models nor the experts invented new…

How fast is AI's research taste improving? We find that the experimental research taste of frontier models has doubled every ~3 months since December 2025. The best model, Opus 5.5, now exceeds our expert human baseline. Our human experts are experienced researchers, but most haven’t worked at a frontier lab. Why measure research taste? In the AI Futures Model, it largely determines how quickly artificial superintelligence is reached once coding is fully automated.
