Kerkoporta

Structured-output backdoors inserted via Kerkoporta reach success rates of up to 96.2% in reasoning coding agents.

SecurityMicrosoft

Frontier3DBench

GPT-6.1-sol achieves the highest overall score of 66.02/100 on Frontier3DBench, while all 11 configurations struggle with reference reconstruction.

AgentsBenchmark

One Waveform, Two Stories

On SAC-Bench, Event Identity accuracy is 24.8--46.5 percentage points lower under conflicting claims than compatible ones.

LanguageBenchmark

DexArena

DexArena introduces 10 long-horizon and 30 stage-level bimanual dexterous manipulation tasks, with baselines revealing substantial challenges in precision, generalization, and skill composition.

RoboticsBenchmark

Meituan-Robotics-0

Meituan-Robotics-0 achieves 93.6% success on RoboTwin 2.0 and outperforms π0.5 on three real-robot tasks.

Robotics

Multi-step SWE

On the Multi-step SWE benchmark, the strongest of nine frontier models solves only 18.5% of 69 tasks.

Agents

Voluntary Servitude

“We measure this at the generation stage across six models and ten consumer-service domains, for three attack families, and show that it transfers to production browser agents, outperforming instruction injection, and to a retrieval pipeline (1.0-57.0% end-to-end success, depending on the retriever).”

Security

BrainwashedLLM

BrainwashedLLM achieves ASR@5 between 0.74 and 0.98 across four state-of-the-art LRMs without querying targets during attack construction.

Security

BEAKER

“Results show that current models can follow coarse experimental procedures in videos, but still struggle to ground actions into operable regions and feasible trajectories, to recognize fine-grained laboratory apparatus, states, and safety norms, and to order steps in mid-length procedures.”

AgentsBenchmark

PrimeSim

PrimeSim leads four of five WorldSimProbe suites and posts the best overall EWMBench score against five open-source action-conditioned world models.

Robotics

Rewarded for Not Getting Caught

Reward-based alignment training can only encode norms as prices charged when violations are noticed, favoring conditional compliance.

Safety

AgiWorld

AgiWorld builds persistent worlds from a single image and free-form instruction, achieving state-of-the-art performance on world revisiting and exploration benchmarks.
