What the evidence indicates

A concise reading of the source

A model may occasionally complete a long task without being dependable enough for deployment. METR therefore reports horizons at defined probabilities rather than treating one successful run as proof of capability.

FUURAA interpretation

Why this could matter

Product claims should state repeated success rates, task conditions and human intervention—not only show a polished demonstration.

How to read this signal

Documented development

The underlying event, report or finding has been published. Its future consequences may still be uncertain.
