  "summary": "Large language models write correct code for isolated problems but remain far weaker at autonomous machine-learning development, where an agent must revise data pipelines, models, and validation over hours of feedback, and on most competitions still finishes below strong human competitors. Outcome-based benchmarks record this gap but not its cause, because they grade the final submission and…",
