abstract
We present analytical results for the $N_f^4$ and $N_f^3$ terms of the five-loop Beta function, for a general gauge group. While the former term agrees with results available from large-$N_f$ studies, the latter is new and extends the value known for SU(3) from an independent calculation.

Asymptotic Pad\'e Predictions up to Six Loops in QCD and Eight Loops in $\lambda\phi^4$
Asymptotic Padé approximants validated on five-loop QCD data now yield six-loop QCD beta-function and quark-mass anomalous-dimension predictions plus eight-loop results in scalar theory.
