arXiv reasoning / agents / evals
Forecasts of explosive AI progress hinge on AI agents automating AI research. But evidence on whether agents can carry out open-ended AI research is thin.

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to assist users in completing tasks. However, existing benchmarks provide limited support for evaluating whether agents can carry out office-suite workflows at a reasonable cost.

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals
LLM-based agents excel at software engineering tasks where an existing codebase provides context, but constructing a program from scratch remains fundamentally harder. Recent benchmarks such as ProgramBench quantify this gap: given only natural-language documentation and an execute-only binary as a behavioral oracle, even frontier models solve fewer than 1% of instances.

Neat new prompt injection variant by Håkon Måløy, who found a way to upgrade prompt injection attacks against Microsoft Word to full self-replicating worms: An attacker places hidden instructions in a document that is later used as source material in Copilot for Word. Copilot may interpret those instructions as part of the user’s request, causing it to manipulate the document being drafted or edited.

In a joint statement, employees from the leading AI labs are calling on the US government to pursue international coordination. Their argument is simple: no single company or country can slow things down alone.

TIL: Adding a custom MCP server to Claude and ChatGPT Connecting a custom MCP server to Claude and ChatGPT's standard chat interfaces is possible, but can take quite a few steps. Tags: ai , generative-ai , chatgpt , llms , claude , model-context-protocol
