The Download: OpenAI is building a fully automated researcher, and a psychedelic trial blind spot

OpenAI plans to deploy an autonomous AI research intern by September, stepping toward a fully automated multi-agent researcher by 2028—a strategic bet on agentic AI solving complex problems without human oversight. Meanwhile, clinical trials reveal psychedelic compounds like psilocybin face significant methodological hurdles despite hype around depression and PTSD treatments.

The Math That’s Killing Your AI Agent

An 85%-accurate AI agent fails 4 out of 5 times on a 10-step task due to compounding error rates: $0.85^{10} \approx 0.20$ success probability. The post breaks down why accuracy metrics mislead teams building multi-step agents and shares a 4-check pre-deployment framework to catch these failures before they hit production.
