🎉 Congrats to OpenAI on GPT-5.6's strong performance on Agents' Last Exam! We created Agents' Last Exam (ALE) to provide realistic, reproducible evaluations and continuous public measurements of frontier AI agents on economically valuable, real-world work across broad domains. ALE currently includes 1,500+ expert-sourced, long-horizon tasks spanning 55 non-physical occupations, contributed by 300+ experts from more than 100 institutions. All tasks are grounded in real professional work and evaluated with fully verifiable, outcome-based grading. It's exciting to see ALE becoming an important guidepost for frontier agent development—helping the community track progress, better understand emerging capabilities, and build AI systems that are increasingly reliable, capable, and useful in the real world. A huge thank you to the hundreds of experts and collaborators who have contributed to ALE. This is truly a community effort. We're continuing to expand the benchmark with new tasks and domains, and we'd love for more experts to contribute. Together, we can build an even stronger foundation for measuring progress toward capable, trustworthy Agentic AI. Submit your contribution: agents-last-exam.org/
Replying to @OpenAI
On Agents' Last Exam, GPT‑5.6 Sol sets a new high of 53.6, eclipsing Claude Fable 5 (adaptive) by 13.1 points. At medium reasoning, it beats Fable 5 by 11.4 points at roughly one-quarter the estimated cost. GPT‑5.6 Terra and Luna also outperforms Fable 5 at around one-sixteenth the cost.

Fresh out of the arxiv! In this work, we (Joe, @dyushag , Dorian, and myself @thg_lab ) used supervised fine tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimization (DPO) to modify Llama 3.1 into a chemical language model. See more details here: arxiv.org/abs/2409.02231 (1/4)

Many experimentally known high-pressure ice phases are structurally very similar. In a new paper nature.com/articles/s41467-0… we combine a ML potential and statistical mechanics to reveal the nature of phase boundaries and suggest novel solid-solid transition mechanisms.

If you're following this ongoing back and forth happening in the chemical literature, the latest rebuttal to the below has just been published in @JPhysChem Letters pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Wonderful to see, given that some people are so worried about censorship and cancel culture in chemistry, that certain concerned parties have recently managed to publish very similar takes in IUPAC (degruyter.com/document/doi/1…) and GDCh publications (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…)

Former MolSSI Software Fellow @chenru_duan just successfully defended his PhD @MIT under the direction of Prof. Heather Kulik. We congratulate him on this accomplishment and wish him every success as he begins his professional career!

Although this is firmly grounded in the context of the physical sciences, the conceptual analysis around, e.g. renaming buildings, is excellent and applicable to many domains.

Thanks for contributing to these efforts. I was really disappointed to attend a Telluride workshop last month at which Krylov and others were offered another platform to share their regressive and harmful talking points. "Free speech" is not the same as consequence-free speech
