string2string Studio: An Interactive, In-Browser Platform for String-to-String Algorithms

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals

We present string2string Studio, an interactive in-browser platform for string-to-string analysis across natural language processing, computational biology, and the digital humanities. The system integrates six main modules (alignment, distance, similarity, search, generation metrics, and BLAST homology search), operating at character, word, token, line, and residue levels.

SocietyBench: Forecasting Counterfactual Social-World Evolution

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals

Large language models (LLMs), and the agents built on top of them, are now benchmarked heavily on whether they can finish a task -- fix a bug, drive a browser, operate a GUI. A complementary social ability, namely how well a model understands and forecasts the way real social events unfold, has barely been measured.

WorldCup Arena: Prospective, Leakage-Free Evaluation of Frontier LLMs on a Live Tournament

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals

Benchmarks that measure the forecasting ability of large language models are almost always retrospective: the event has happened, the answer is somewhere on the Web, and the evaluation must defend itself against memorisation. We report the opposite design.

Simon Willison

MiniMax released MiniMax-H3 two days ago - they describe it as a "a general-purpose, omni-modal generative system", which in practice means it accepts text, images, audio and video and can use them to generate up to 15 second video clips with audio included. This Python package ports it to MLX for running on Apple Silicon.
