Import AI 470: No rights for machines; automating environment generation with SPADE; and building better GPU kernels with Hawkeye

AI summary

Import AI 470 covers a METR study finding AI sharply accelerated cyber vulnerability discovery in 2026 but only marginally helped math and showed no measurable speedup in AI research itself. It also highlights SPADE, a self-play framework that co-evolves executable environments and agents, boosting Qwen3-30B-A3B to a 58.3 suite average (+8.1 over base), plus Hawkeye for GPU kernels.
