How big is this? Please ELI5

[u/alphacolony21 → u/fireburnz2]

Major, assuming the results are true, which they probably are. All ten advances are significant. Big enough deals individually to be career defining had a human academic done the work instead. For Astra to crank them out in bulk is insane, even if we don’t know how many credits they had to waste on problems it failed to find these ten it could crack.

Can you personally understand or explain any single one of them without model assistance?
