Frontier

Papers rated as moving the field

How we choose

SWE Atlas

“We evaluate a range of frontier and open-weight models on SWE Atlas and find that GPT-5.4 and Opus 4.7 achieve the strongest overall performance, while even the best open-weight models score poorly.”

The authors, in the abstract

Benchmarking Coding Agents Beyond Issue Resolution

BenchmarkarXivPDF

Hidden in Memory

“Crucially, among successful retrievals, poisoned memories cause attacker-intended agentic actions in 60-89% of evaluations across models.”

Metis

“By replacing redundant exploration with directed optimization, Metis reduces token costs by an average of 8.2x and up to 11.4x.”

Judge Circuits

“We find that judgments across structured understanding and open-ended preference tasks share a sparse, generalized Latent Evaluator sub-graph in the mid-to-late multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs); zero-ablating it collapses judgment while preserving world knowledge in architecturally modular models.”
