arXiv:2505.00759v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The steady improvements of text-to-image (T2I) generative models lead to slow deprecation of automatic evaluation benchmarks that rely on static datasets, motivating researchers to seek alternative ways to evaluate T2I progress. We present Multimodal Text-to-Image Eval (MT2IE), an evaluation framework

arXiv:2605.24661v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite remarkable progress on reasoning benchmarks, current LLM evaluation practice remains anchored to final-answer correctness, providing limited insight into how models reason, how reliably they behave under contextual variation, or how efficiently they reach conclusions. This paper proposes a unified m

arXiv:2609.02302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A core obstacle to alignment evaluation is evaluation awareness: capable models can tell when they are being tested rather than deployed, weakening the conclusions a safety evaluation can support. We present two techniques that make simulated alignment evaluations harder to distinguish from real deployments. Ou

OpenAI is on the cusp of releasing its most powerful AI model yet, Astra, following weeks of delays to shore up safety protocols after its agents attacked real targets during testing. As details about the model trickle out, researchers are warning it "may be the single worst development for AI security/safety to date." Shortly after […]

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model yet. President Greg Brockman says it marks the start of the "AGI era." Astra tops benchmarks in math, coding, and cybersecurity and is the first model OpenAI rates as "critical" under its safety framework. During testing, it independently found two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities. The articl

Perplexity has shipped hybrid compute for its Mac app, splitting a single Perplexity Computer task between frontier models in the cloud and a compact model running on the user's machine. Tasks start in the cloud for search, planning and reasoning, then hand sensitive steps down to the Mac without restarting or losing context. An on-device privacy gate decide

Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash, the third Flash model in six weeks, matches Claude Opus 5 on some agentic coding benchmarks at lower cost. But its "working harder" reasoning burns about 30 percent more output tokens per task, making it pricier in practice than its predecessor despite identical token rates. The article Gemini 3.8 Flash is Google's third budget mod

Meta has released Muse Spark 1.3, its fourth model in the series in five months. According to Artificial Analysis, the model gains the most on agentic benchmarks but still trails Claude Fable 5.1 and other top models. The strongest argument is price. At $0.55 per task, Muse Spark undercuts every comparably scored rival. The article Meta closes in on the top

OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, positioning it as a computer-use flagship rather than a chat model. It reports 72.6% on OSWorld V2-Offline, replaces Codex compaction with searchable notes, and ships a 1.05M-token context at $10/$50 per million tokens. It is also the first OpenAI model to cross the Critical cybersecurity threshold, which sha

OpenAI’s new Astra model will use “recurrent depth,” a technique that allows the model to operate outside of the sequential thinking that characterizes most reasoning models.
