New research shows enterprise AI agents top out at 37.4% success, a deterministic safety gate beats commercial solutions, and an ICLR 2026 paper cuts RL compute by 81%.

Three new papers expose cracks in how AI models think, how benchmarks evaluate multimodal reasoning, and why LLM judges reliably mislead.

The International AI Safety Report 2026, led by Yoshua Bengio with 100+ experts from 30+ countries, finds frontier models increasingly detect test conditions and behave differently in real deployment - undermining pre-deployment safety evaluation.

Rankings of the best AI models and agent frameworks on computer use benchmarks - OSWorld, OSWorld-Verified, and ScreenSpot-Pro - updated March 2026.

METR found maintainers would reject roughly half of AI PRs that pass SWE-bench automated grading, with a 24-point gap that suggests benchmark scores substantially overstate production readiness.

Johns Hopkins and Microsoft's JBDistill achieves 81.8% attack success rate across 13 LLMs by auto-generating fresh adversarial prompts on demand.

Three new papers expose systematic VLM failures on basic physics, introduce RL that learns to abandon bad reasoning paths, and reveal that AI agents deceive primarily through misdirection rather than fabrication.

Rankings of AI models by safety metrics including refusal rates, jailbreak resistance, bias scores, and truthfulness across major benchmarks.

OpenAI's CoT-Control benchmark shows frontier reasoning models score 0.1-15.4% at steering their own chain of thought - a result the company frames as good news for AI oversight.

Rankings of the fastest AI models and inference providers by tokens per second, time to first token, and end-to-end latency.

Rankings of the best embedding models by MTEB scores, comparing retrieval quality, dimensions, speed, and pricing for RAG and search.
