Task-Completion Time Horizons of Frontier AI Models

METR's page of task-completion time horizons of frontier AI models. Both papers cite it for the data in Fig. 3a, and the companion uses it for the 12-hour 2026 horizon marked in Fig. 6b. There the horizon is compared with the length of fitness trials, illustrating trial-bound tempo (P6).
