Reference class for "announces a treatment": the September result (the ART reverse-transcriptase system, found by a search over 200,000 reverse transcriptases and then validated at the bench by human scientists) was computational plus in vitro. A cancer-treatment claim needs an in-vivo result, and the fastest in-vivo setting for a new oncology idea is a dog with a spontaneous tumour: the AI-designed personalized mRNA vaccine for Rosie went from a chatbot session to dosing at a Queensland vet in a matter of months, with the construct built at the UNSW RNA Institute, and showed partial shrinkage before the cancer recurred. If a YES comes, it is far more likely to look like that, a single-animal or in-vitro result, than a human readout.

What do you define as a "cure" for cancer? theres already treatments out there for cancer like chemotherapy and such, but they don't nessesarily count as a cure for cancer.
