autoresearch basically starts the era of disposable model. AI labs that can't automate their own R&D pipeline will be outrun by those that can. The moat isn't talent anymore - it's the speed of your automated experimentation loop. - minimax 2.7 was built from an autoresearch-like pipeline - models designing models. - half-life of a frontier model is now down to a month in 2026 - at minimax & miromind, the model now decides who to hire. Not HR. Not hiring managers. The model evaluates market talent, identifies capability gaps, and recommends candidates. If your AI can build the next AI, it sure as hell can pick the humans it needs to assist the process.
