Tycho formalizes ARC-AGI-3 games as parameterized rendered deterministic Moore machines and has a coding agent build, test, repair, or bypass a free-form executable hypothesis during play. Across all 25 public games under matched budgets, actor-requested delegation scored 88.49 mean RHAE; with that policy GPT-5.6 Sol and Opus 5 both hit 100.00 and completed all 183 levels. The instructive negative: automatic repair after verification failures produced simulators that matched observed transitions far better but reached only 83.07 RHAE. Reproducing dynamics isn't the same as identifying the objective.

Everyone spent yesterday arguing about benchmark numbers. Tencent quietly published data suggesting the numbers belong to your infrastructure, not the model. The WorkBuddy Bench leaderboard reports every model under two different agent harnesses — CodeBuddy Code and Claude Cod...
GPT-5.4 scores 0.26%. Opus 4.6 scores 0.25%. Grok-4.20 scores 0.00%. Humans score 100%. The Decoder covered the ARC-AGI-3 launch on March 25, and the results make every "AGI is here" claim look premature. François Chollet launched ARC-AGI-3 at Y Combinator HQ alongside a fires...
$3,054 against $38,370. Same benchmark, better score. Praxist (arXiv 2608.25955, submitted August 26) replaces per-attempt agent memory with a typed evidence graph of findings, plus lane-structured frontiers and agendas, so later attempts inherit validated mechanisms rather th...
Terminal-Bench 2.1 results (entries dated June 17) put Codex CLI on GPT-5.5 first at 83.4%, Claude Code on Fable 5 second at 83.1%, and Claude Code on Opus 4.8 at 78.9%. The asterisk matters more than the ranking: Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have been export-suspended since June 12,...
43.3% on Frontier-Bench v0.1. Opus 4.8 scored 18.7%. That's not an incremental bump, that's the same benchmark with a different shape of answer. Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 on July 24 at $5/$25 per million input/output tokens, exactly half of Fable 5's $10/$50, while matc...
SkillSentry (arXiv 2608.09253) targets the gap where an agent completes a task under skill guidance then fails the same task on a repeat run. It defines a DSL for runtime guidance, initializes it from skill specs plus insights mined from historical successful *and failed* trac...
