What if visual reasoning could be done without generating endless images or code? Meta AI and CUHK researchers present ATLAS: a single "functional token" that works as both an agentic action and a latent reasoning unit. No visual supervision, no extra architecture—just one

Hermes allows LLM judgment but constrains irreversible actions
By
–
Hermes handles edge cases by making the skill loop conservative at the boundaries, not by pretending the agent has perfect judgment. The main pattern is: LLM judgment is allowed to propose structure, but irreversible actions are constrained.

OPQA Benchmark: 20 Real Engineering Bottlenecks from OpenAI
By
–
OpenAI-Proof Q&A (OPQA) is a benchmark of 20 real research and engineering bottlenecks that OpenAI teams encountered internally, each taking more than a day to solve. A model is given relevant code, logs, and experiment artifacts, then asked to identify and explain the root

OpenAI benchmark scores stagnant since launch
By
–
OpenAI has this interesting benchmark of OpenAI's real engineering bottlenecks, where the scores have not moved since launch over a year ago. Some earlier models did even better than 5.5. I wonder what's going on here.
