With thousands of Agent-2 instances conducting round-the-clock ML experiments, OpenBrain achieves two major algorithmic breakthroughs:
1. Neuralese recurrence and memory: Passing high-dimensional internal vectors (>1,000x the information bandwidth of single English tokens) across reasoning steps.
2. Iterated Distillation and Amplification (IDA): Training deliberative ensembles and distilling their discoveries back into fast single models.
The resulting system, Agent-3, is a fast, cheap Superhuman Coder (SC). OpenBrain runs 200,000 Agent-3 copies in parallel at 30x human thinking speed, raising the overall algorithmic R&D multiplier to 4x.

Will a frontier AI lab achieve an internal 'Superhuman Coder' (SC) capable of autonomously executing ≥85% of internal ML engineering tasks at ≥10x human speed by December 31, 2027?
Resolution Criteria: Resolves YES if a frontier AI lab or independent evaluator (METR / US AISI / UK AISI) confirms a model system meets the AI 2027 Superhuman Coder criteria by end of 2027.

High-Dimensional Continuous Recurrence ('Neuralese') + Iterated Distillation and Amplification (IDA) Breaks the Natural-Language Token Bottleneck
Standard transformers compress every intermediate thought into a single discrete English token (~15–20 bits of information), throwing away rich activation state between steps. Once Agent-2 implements high-dimensional continuous recurrence ('Neuralese') with >1,000x higher bandwidth per forward pass and distills amplified search trees via IDA, 200,000 parallel Agent-3 copies reach 30x human coding speed.

Amdahl's Law & Compute-Intensive RL Environments Cap Net R&D Below 2.5x in 2027 (Takeoff Supplement Case 2b + Case 3 = 60%)
Even if coding speed increases 30x, validating novel architectures requires large-scale GPU experiments (Takeoff Supplement Case 2b = 30% and Case 3 = 30%, totaling 60% of the authors' own probability mass). By Amdahl's law, when experimental compute is fixed, 30x faster hypothesis generation still bottlenecks on wall-clock training runs.
