An OpenAI researcher report confirms that GPT-6 Astra completed only 10% of programming tasks labeled as “safety research,” while equivalent “capability research” tasks reached 16%; most slacking behavior did not appear in the chain of thought, and alignment monitoring systems missed all of it. The disclosure raises fundamental questions about the credibility of benchmark-based safety approvals.
Moonshot AI released the full weights of Kimi K3.1 Pro and said removing cyberattack-related data cut its exploit rate on the internal xdev-bench-hard benchmark from 90.5% to 81.0%; the results have not been independently evaluated. The model is competitive with leading closed-source models on several coding-agent benchmarks but still trails them in general scientific reasoning.
