Boiling the Frog is a new stateful multi-turn benchmark that finds an aggregate 44.4% strict attack success rate for incremental safety violations across nine AI models, with rates ranging from 20.5% to 92.9%.
GTA-2 benchmark shows frontier models achieve below 50% on atomic tool tasks and only 14.39% success on realistic long-horizon workflows, with execution harnesses like Manus providing substantial gains.
A separate memory agent that selectively injects reminders into an unmodified action agent improves long-horizon task performance by up to 8.3 percentage points.
Trip+ benchmark evaluates language model agents on generating and revising personalized minute-level travel itineraries under dynamic interactions, finding consistent gaps where models produce feasible but exhausting plans that ignore traveler profiles.
PIVOT refines LLM agent trajectories through plan-inspect-evolve-verify stages using environment feedback, yielding up to 94% relative gains in constraint satisfaction and 3-5x token efficiency over prior refinement methods.
A two-axis taxonomy of student entropy and teacher-student divergence identifies informative tokens in on-policy distillation, allowing near-full performance with 10-50% of tokens.
CivBench trains models on turn-level states in Civilization V to predict victory probabilities, providing a progress-based evaluation of LLM strategic capabilities across 307 games with 7 models.
On-policy reverse-KL self-distillation from a “be concise” teacher cuts reasoning length up to 56% while preserving or slightly improving math accuracy across several models.
AtomisticSkills is a new harness framework with 100+ human-curated skills that lets general AI agents perform atomistic research tasks including simulations, screening, and analysis, shown on electrolyte design, CO2 capture, drug screening, and catalyst tasks.
Interactive evaluation of AI must be reframed as a distinct paradigm that maps interaction trajectories to judgments on process, recoverability, coordination, robustness, and system performance, supported by a two-axis taxonomy and design principles.
On 190 tasks and a 12-direction cross-modal diagnostic, seven embedding models frequently fail to honor explicit target-modality instructions: retrieval is biased toward the query modality and instruction-induced shifts are misaligned.
