Training and benchmarking a computer-use agent needs four things — agents, environments, traces, and a framework to evaluate and train them — and all four ship in incompatible formats today. CUA-Lite, from a UC Berkeley led team, puts them behind one action space and one data schema, and replaces OSWorld's per-task virtual machine with a plain Docker con

arXiv:2609.05141v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific papers require models to reason jointly over text, equations, figures, tables, code, and datasets while preserving the provenance of supporting evidence. Existing benchmarks typically evaluate these capabilities in isolation, leaving unclear whether multimodal models can support realistic scientific-

arXiv:2609.04667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly proposed for enterprise workflows, yet existing evaluations rarely test whether business-decision conclusions transfer across competitive market ecologies. We introduce ERPBench, an execution-instrumented benchmark for enterprise decision agents in a six-round

OpenBMB has released MiniCPM5-2B, a dense causal language model with 2,516,756,480 parameters and a native 131,072 token context. It averages 53.9 across the 34 benchmarks in its model card, ahead of Qwen3.5-4B at 51.1, with its clearest leads in tool use, coding agents and long-context retrieval. Post-training pairs 400B tokens of deep-thinking SFT with RL

arXiv:2609.05009v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety evaluations can mischaracterize deployed behaviour if artificial-intelligence systems respond to being evaluated. We test this possibility in a full-factorial conjoint experiment on decisions to start a war, spanning 20 large language models, 32 scenarios, 10 repetitions and two conditions (N = 12,800 ju

Robot datasets have grown far slower than the models trained on them, mostly because collection stays locked to lab hardware. AXIS moves demonstration collection into a web browser and pushes everything expensive to backend GPUs. The result is 207 tasks and 50,129 verified Franka trajectories, and continual pretraining that lifts π0.5 from 83.9 to 88.8 on L

OpenAI reports that AI agents in its own research already handle 3.1 workdays for every human workday, and it says it has reached its goal of an "automated research intern." But chief scientist Pachocki warns that no lab has a good enough grip on alignment and monitoring to keep scaling at maximum speed. The article OpenAI reports AI "research interns" and w
