Anthropic's Mythos/Opus cycle sparked mixed reactions with praise for Claude Mythos's one-shot workflows and concerns over Opus 4.8 benchmark regressions. Opus 4.7 showed strong chemistry task performance, "making Claude a chemist." Sakana AI launched an RSI Lab focusing on recursive self-improvement under compute constraints, marking RSI as a formal research program. New benchmarks like Agents' Last Exam (ALE) and SWE-Marathon test agents on long-horizon, economically meaningful tasks, revealing low pass rates and coherence challenges. Princeton's ICML 2026 paper found models like GPT 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro / 3.5 Flash, and Claude Opus 4.7 still lack meaningful reliability improvements. Tooling trends favor RL-environment-style frameworks for agent evaluation, exemplified by Meta's OpenEnv.
