The main dimension follows the task outcome in the original protocol. Topic relevance is documented in the parent research record; no unreviewed question-level links are inferred.
Source finding
Source-reported measurements for o1-preview · AIDE in Table 2; values are transcribed, not independently reproduced.
Limitations
Competition performance is a proxy for parts of AI research work, not a direct measure of recursive self-improvement.
Configuration, task and aggregation differences remain as reported. Source order is retained. Transcription is not independent replication; no cross-protocol ranking is supported.
