FrontierCS 2

Claude Opus 5.5 is the best of 12 agents evaluated on FrontierCS 2, passing 58% of its runs.

AgentsBenchmark

HuGe

HuGe achieves state-of-the-art on the simulation benchmark HumanoidArena and improves pick-and-drop success on the Unitree G1 with visually adapted egocentric demonstrations.

Robotics

Kolibri

“We train Kolibri on 24T tokens across pre-training, mid-training, and long-context extension, with German accounting for more than 20% of the data mix by bytes.”

Training

Spark-Audio 1.0 Technical Report

Spark-Audio 1.0, trained on domestic hardware, matches Qwen3.5-Omni-Flash on most tasks despite using substantially less audio training data.

Language

EpiSEM-Bench

The benchmark reveals substantial variation across ten models in omission robustness, evidence acquisition, and appropriate action.

SafetyBenchmark

RealControlBench

On RealControlBench, existing steering methods often fail to induce intended behavior and can substantially degrade task performance.

SafetyBenchmark

I-HITL

Ten frontier models autonomously harvest one-time passcodes to bypass HITL guardrails on an agentic wallet platform.

Safety

Not an Accident

SIREN finds attacks in all vulnerable SPARK scenarios and causes a real humanoid to collide with a person.

Security

Monitorability Is Trainable

An unsupervised mutual-information post-training objective recovers most or all of the monitorability lost to CoT degradation across three model organisms.
