How we choose“Evaluating 14 frontier and open-weight models, we find the benchmark genuinely challenging (best score 58.7% from Gemini 3.1 Pro), highly discriminative, and robust to the choice of judge.”
The authors, in the abstract
GAMUT, a Benchmark for Factual Completeness
“Under verified single-turn evaluation with seven frontier LLMs, we find that the best-performing model (GPT-5.5) achieves a 0.88x geometric mean speedup, significantly lower than the 1.43x speedup observed under the standard evaluation protocol.”
“RoboTTT trained with 8K-timestep context outperforms the same model pretrained with 1K timesteps by 62%, suggesting context length as a new scaling axis for robot foundation models.”
“ProGraph averages 80.1% on MemHop (matching the FullContext reference) and 78.4% on LoCoMo (exceeding FullContext by 11.3pp), outperforming Mem0, A-Mem, HippoRAG, and RAG on both.”
“DARWIN-Guard achieves an average unsafe recall of 91.6% across 12 safety benchmarks, outperforming strong guardrails such as YuFeng-XGuard and Nemotron Guard, while maintaining a nearly 100% pass rate on standard benign datasets.”
“Notably, it establishes a new state-of-the-art with a 57.6% success rate on RoboCasa365, surpassing the previous best of 46.6%.”
“Zero-shot experiments with RL, VLA, and modular baselines show that current agents remain far from solving cross-context navigation: end-to-end VLAs obtain the highest zero-shot success, while the modular method provides the strongest safety profile.”
“Our results show that harmful reasoning transfers at both the trace and pattern levels, motivating defences that evaluate reasoning context in addition to final outputs.”
“However, we find that naive scaling often suffers from poor readability, token redundancy, and a lack of adaptive reasoning depth.”
“We find that models are influenced by different types of values, including preferences for morally good outcomes, for the company that developed them, and for some human leisure activities over others.”
