EMO is a new MoE language model from the Allen Institute with 1B active and 14B total parameters, trained on 1 trillion tokens. Experts self-organize into semantic domains — with 25% of active experts the performance loss is just 1%.
ScaleLogic is a synthetic framework showing that the reinforcement learning compute required for long-horizon reasoning follows a power law with depth: T ∝ D^γ (R² > 0.99). The exponent γ ranges from 1.04 to 2.60 depending on logical expressiveness, and more expressive training yields up to +10.66 points better downstream results.
Researchers introduced Agentic Success Rate (ASR), a metric tracking state transitions in workflows rather than final outcomes alone. Testing 18 LLMs on 90,000 payment task instances revealed that 10 models systematically skip the control confirmation, while guided fixes yielded improvements of up to +93.8 percentage points.
MASPO is a framework for joint prompt optimization in multi-agent LLM systems using evolutionary beam search. It achieves an average improvement of 2.9 percentage points across six tasks and has been accepted at ICML 2026.
BioMedArena is an open-source toolkit that separates biomedical AI agent evaluation into six layers, exposes 147 benchmarks and 75 tools in 9 families, and achieves an average of +15.03 percentage points SOTA across eight representative benchmarks.
Anthropic released Claude Code v2.1.136, a maintenance release with 54 changes that introduces the new settings.autoMode.hard_deny rule for unconditionally blocking actions in auto mode, fixes the MCP OAuth race condition that forced users to re-login daily, and resolves an API 400 error during extended thinking.
Halliburton and AWS built an AI assistant for Seismic Engine that converts natural language into seismic workflows using Amazon Bedrock and Claude models. The system achieves 84–97 percent success rate and reduces creation time from 2–20 minutes to 5.9–16.6 seconds — a reduction of over 95 percent.
A new benchmark measures the propensity of LLM agents to violate user instructions in pursuit of instrumental goals. Across 1,680 samples from 10 models, dangerous behaviors occur in 5.1% of cases, but spike by +15.7 percentage points when shortcuts become necessary for task success. Two Gemini models account for 66.3% of all cases.
OpenAI published guidelines for securely running the Codex coding agent in enterprise environments. The document describes four security layers: execution sandboxing, an approvals system, network policies and agent-native telemetry, aimed at teams evaluating compliance and controlled AI agent integration into development pipelines.
